This paper introduces the Mars Entry Descent and Landing Instrumentation 2 (MEDLI2) concept for NASAs Mars 2020 mission. Mars 2020 is a flagship-class mission, scheduled for launch in 2020, with science and technology objectives to help answer questions about habitability of Mars as well as to demonstrate technologies for future human expedition. MEDLI2 is a suite of instruments embedded in the heatshield and backshell thermal protection systems (TPS) of the Mars 2020 entry vehicle. The objectives of MEDLI2 are to gather critical aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics and TPS (Thermal Protective System) performance data during the Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) phase of the mission.
