LaRa

LaRa (Lander Radioscience) was a Belgian radio science experiment that will be placed onboard Kazachok, planned to be launched in 2022. LaRa will monitor the Doppler frequency shift of a radio signal traveling between the Martian lander and the Earth. These Doppler measurements will be used to precisely observe the orientation and rotation of Mars, leading to a better knowledge of the internal structure of the planet.
