| Summary: | The purpose of the conference is to assess the current state of Mars polar and climate research; discuss what might be learned from investigations of terrestrial analogs and the data returned from current and future missions; and identify the potential science objectives, platform options, and instrument suites for future robotic missions to investigate the martian poles. sponsored by Lunar and Planetary Institute .
