The inability to test planetary spacecraft in the flight environment prior to a mission requires engineers to rely on ground-based testing and models of the vehicle and expected environments. One of the most widely used engineering models of the Martian atmosphere is the Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model (Mars-GRAM) developed and maintained by the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has provided funding support to upgrade the planetary GRAMs in Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019. This poster summarizes the upgrades that have been made to Mars-GRAM, the release status of Mars-GRAM, the new GRAMs that are under development, and future Mars-GRAM upgrade plans.
