The second deep-space advanced technology validation mission in NASA's New Millennium Program will demonstrate planetary micropenetrator technologies. Two microprobes, each consisting of a very low mass aeroshell and penetrator system, are planned to launch in January 1999 and arrive at Mars in December 1999. This paper will summarize key features of the microprobe mission and system design, as well as discuss the technologies proposed for flight.
