		The Deep Space 2 (DS2) project is a New Millenium mission consisting of two probes which were to penetrate the surface of Mars near the south polar layered terrain and send back data on the sub-surface properties.
		On 3 December 1999 the probes were nearing Mars on a trajectory to enter the atmosphere and bring them to their intended landing site, but contact was never made with either probe and the mission was presumed lost.
		The Deep Space 2 probes, attached to the Mars Polar Lander, were launched on a Delta 7425 (a Delta II Lite launch vehicle with four strap-on solid-rocket boosters and a Star 48 (PAM-D) third stage) which placed them into a low-Earth parking orbit.

	Mars Relay--- DS2 and MPL
		To support the Deep Space 2 probes, Amundsen and Scott, a complex sequence of primary and backup (contingency) attempts to contact the probes has been developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
		The MR tries to communicate with both Deep Space 2 probes on five consecutive orbits, 2.4 minutes attempting to contact one probe, followed by 2.4 minutes attempting to contact the other, for 24 minutes per orbit.
		The light blue are primary contacts for Deep Space 2, pink and green are contingency contacts for Probe 1 or Probe 2, and dark blue is the MPL contingency contact.

		Temperature data from the DS2 probes will be used primarily to define the thermal relaxation of the entry heating of the probes from which the thermal properties of the regolith at the landing site will be determined.
		Even with the small size and mass of the DS2 microprobes, instrumentation required for the thermal studies is only a fraction of the available scientific payload, and the low data requirements of the thermal studies allows opportunities for other data return.
		The small and lightweight design of the microprobes would allow ten to fifteen Deep Space 2-like probes to be attached to a single delivery vehicle, jettisoned to land at different locations on the planet.

		NASA's Deep Space 2 microprobes, due to smash into the surface of Mars near the planet's south pole on Dec. 3, have been named Amundsen and Scott in honor of the first explorers to reach the South Pole of Earth.
		Deep Space One is the first deep space mission of NASA's New Millennium Program.
		The Deep Space 2 probes are designed to operate and transmit data until the batteries are depleted, which is expected to occur 1 to 3 days after impact.

		Deep Space 2 is part of NASA's New Millennium Program, which develops cutting-edge technology and flight tests it to reduce the risk for future missions.
		Since DS2 probes' contain first-of-a-kind instruments and systems, "just getting them to the launch pad was a measure of success," said Gavit.

		Each would have released a miniature two-piece science penetrator probe designed to punch into the soil to a depth of up to 2 m and search for subsurface ice.

	Deep Space 2 Mission: Why Explore Mars
		Although liquid water may still exist deep below the surface of Mars, currently the temperature is too low and the atmosphere too thin for liquid water to exist at the surface.
		As we begin to explore the universe and search for planets in other solar systems, we must first ask the question 'Did life occur on another planet in our own solar system?' and 'What are the minimal conditions necessary for the formation of life?'
		Deep Space 2 will provide an opportunity to collect data which may help answer some of these questions.

		In December 1999, two basketball-sized aeroshells will crash onto the Martian surface at a velocity of about 200 meters per second.
		Each aeroshell will shatter on impact, releasing a miniature two-piece science probe that will punch into the soil to a depth of up to 2 meters.
		The microprobes' primary science goal: to determine if water ice is present in the Martian subsurface - an important clue in the puzzle of whether life exists, or ever existed, on Mars.
