Several years back, there used to be a PDF (or PostScript) version of a high-level description on the web of the proposed science for the Mars Volatiles and Climate Surveyor (MVACS), which formed the core of the Mars Polar Lander science payload. In fact, I believe this document was part of David Paige's MVACS proposal that he submitted (and which was ultimately selected) for the Mars Surveyor Lander 98 announcement of opportunity. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Despite several Google searches, I can't find it anywhere on the web. Does anyone happen to have a copy or know where an online version is? Thanks. |

I MAY have it -- I've certainly got two or three Web documents about this mission recorded on CD-ROM that are no longer available on the Web. I'll take a look.

Have you tried asking Dave Paige for it directly? --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Have you tried asking Dave Paige for it directly? Not yet I MAY have it -- I've certainly got two or three Web documents about this mission recorded on CD-ROM that are no longer available on the Web. I'll take a look. Thanks, Bruce. I think I have it archived somewhere, but I'd have to search through (literally) scores of CDs to find it. By web standards, it's a pretty old document (ca. 1999 or so). |

Thanks for trying, Bruce. I already have the PS PIP, which, by the way, is on the web. If I can't find the document I'm looking for in my CD collection, I'll contact Paige. For the record, here is the info that was on the cover page:
NASA AO No. 95-OSS-3
Mars Volatiles and Climate Surveyor (MVACS) Integrated Payload Proposal for the Mars Surveyor Program ‘98 Lander Volume 1 Investigation and Technical Plan Principal Investigator David A. Paige University of California, Los Angeles |

A couple of things:
(1) Thanks to Bruce for looking through his archive for the document I am looking for. One of the reasons I posted this request is that I've known a few of this forum's participants for several years now, and I know some of them (like me) like to squirrel away documents. (2) I thought I would run gauntlet (1) before trying out David Paige. However, after coming up empty on the search, I finally contacted him today. He told me he'd look through his files and send me copy. |
