It's a joint project between Russia and Finland. Currently they're making a mockup of what is supposed to be "A Small Meteo Station", assembled and built by Lavochkin Bureaw ( http://www.laspace.ru/ ).
MetNet will conduct direct measurments of the Martian atmosphere during descend ( like Mars 6 ) and after landing will take some photos, measure the temperature of the surface, survey Mars volatiles and etc. The primary mission is supposed to end one Martian year after touchdown. Entry, descend and landing: http://www.laspace.ru/images/metnet009.jpg It seems that there's no such thing as a parachute. The Russians describe the big pneumatic cone as : "Aerodynamic machine".... and this aerodynamic machine will be inflated after entry to slow down the spacecraft. |

MetNet may fly on a 2015-2016 Chinese orbiter
http://finca.utu.fi/FinCOSPAR11/talks/Siili_FinCOSPAR11.pdf -------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
