The exploration of the atmosphere of Mars can be conducted using aerial platforms such as balloons and airships. Current research and development efforts at NASA include a lobed pressurized balloon system for the Ultra Long Duration Balloon Program. The capabilities of this system, in regards to pressure, load carrying capability, and duration, are far greater than anything previously flown. This technology can be adapted for use in the atmosphere of Mars.
