The baseline small lander network mission MESUR (Mars Environmental Survey) is reviewed and the tasks that a microrover could do to improve the science return on such a mission are described. An early precursor small lander mission under study, called MESUR Pathfinder, and the science, technology, and mission engineering tasks that are being considered for the microrover are also described. A description of a microrover (instrumented with microsensors), which is applicable to a small Mars lander mission, is given.
