Spacecraft Dimensions 1.06 meters (3.5 feet) tall by 3.6 meters (12 feet) wide. Spacecraft Weight Total: 576 kg (1,270 pounds) Lander: 290 kg (639 pounds) Propellant: 64 kg (141 pounds) Cruise Stage: 82 kg (181 pounds) Aeroshell & Heat Shield: 140 kg (309 pounds) Science Instruments Deep Space 2 Microprobes Mars Volatiles and Climate Surveyor (MVACS), consisting of surface imager, robotic arm, meteorology package, and thermal and evolved gas analyzer. Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and Mars Microphone Spacecraft Power Solar panels providing 200 watts on the Mars' surface.

The two missions were to study the Martian weather, climate, and water and carbon dioxide budget, to understand the reservoirs, behavior, and atmospheric role of volatiles and to search for evidence of long-term and episodic climate changes. Both spacecraft were launched during the 1998 Mars orbit insertion launch window. Both were lost, including the penetrator probes.
