For future missions to Mars, Nasa wants a better understanding of the regular weather patterns on Mars. Current models of martian weather are not up to the task of predicting weather that could impair future martian prospects. To improve our models, we need accurate data, measured directly from orbiters or surface stations, like rovers or probes. One solution is to send a web of permanent surface weather stations to various locations on the surface, in order to get accurate data about large-scale martian weather patterns. Such data could be used to improve our models which could greatly aid in improving the safety of future exploration. Such a mission, though, would have countless moving parts, from launch till landing. We created this short animation to demonstrate how such a mission might be carried out, what it might tell us, and how that information could prove critically useful for future martian exploration, including human missions to the surface.
