The Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) will be the first rocket ever to launch off the surface of Mars, inserting Martian regolith samples into orbit. Since the MAV vehicle is a two-stage all-solid rocket with no thrust termination system, orbit in-sertion accuracy is heavily dependent on pre-flight predictions of the motor per-formance and dynamics of the spin-stabilized upper stage (MAV2). Therefore, a flight test of the MAV2 as the final stage on a Black Brant IX sounding rocket from Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) is planned. This paper discusses the mission design, post flight reconstruction approach, and instrumentation package pro-posed to meet the relevant flight test objectives.
