Experiment By Booker and Henry

Most of the experiments taken up to Mars will not be decided by us. We will be open to transporting any types of viable experiments to Mars. There will be land rovers involved in these experiments.

First they will load the Falcon up with various rovers from many different countries. They will then enter the atmosphere and proceed to the drop location of the rover specified by the owners of the rover or rovers. If there are certain conditions that are not suitable for the rovers the crew of the Falcon will be able to change the landing site. Then the cargo bays will open and the clamps will release the rover or instrument. If needed a static cable will be attached to pull out a parachute to slow its descent. Once the rovers reach the surface they will be able to do the soil samples or whatever the owners instruct us to do with it. They will be controlled by the members of the crew or have been programmed to do what is needed. There will be a manual override in case of failure by a unit. The Falcon will also drop instruments into a dust storm to measure the amount of force and speed of the winds.

After the rovers are done with their experiments they will have the option of hooking up with a cable dropped by the Falcon. This will save a lot of money and also make it possible to further examine samples taken from the Martian surface. Members of the crew will also be able to fix the rovers or equipment if something happens to go wrong. Some rovers may remain on the surface because of the limited amount of time that the Falcon will be in orbit of Mars.

While in the atmosphere the Falcon will conduct a series of spins, twists, turns, and rolls to test the ability to fly in Mars' atmosphere.
