A vehicle with a minimal propulsion and fuel system is proposed to investigate a large area of the Martian surface as well as its atmosphere with one, or a few independent systems. This simple method, using the Martian winds and weather conditions for long range operation, consists of a helium filled balloon containing an automatic integrated payload. Different configurations, including combination with a Marsochod vehicle, are discussed. Feasibility in each case is argued while areas for further study, depending on the configuration chosen, are considered.
