Resumen
The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer will be dedicated to getting meteorological data from Mars during NASA’s Mars 2020 rover mission. High-quality Mars atmosphere measurements are required in order to build mathematical models of the climate on a planetary scale. The Mars 2020 rover will be equipped with two wind sensors installed on two separated booms working in active redundancy but producing a mutual aerodynamic interference on one another’s wind measurements. This paper presents a systematic study on the interferences produced by the sensors and the rover body itself when measuring wind velocities in order to get insight to assess the uncertainties produced by this effect.
