The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) instrument was developed by a team of Italian and United States researchers and is flying on the ESA Mars Express spacecraft. The MARSIS Subsurface Sounding Radar/Altimeter primary objective is to map the distribution of water and ice in the upper portions of the Martian crust. The instrument analyzes reflections of radio waves in the upper 2-3 km of Martian crust to reveal the subsurface structure. MARSIS also studies the ionosphere by characterizing the interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere and upper atmosphere of Mars. The MARSIS Principal Investigator is Prof. Giovanni Picardi, Universita di Roma 'La Sapienza', Rome, Italy.
