Abstract
According to the Mars Express mission , the MARSIS primary scientific objectives are to map the distribution of water, both liquid and solid, in the upper portions of the crust of Mars. Moreover three secondary objectives are defined for the MARSIS experiment: subsurface geologic probing, surface characterization, and ionosphere sounding.
