Description: For planet tracking, the immense mass relative to applied nongravitational forces (for even the smaller asteroids) removes limitations on the ability to model orbital motion mathematically. A lander on a natural satellite (other than the moon) would not suffer from nongravitational effects, and would further have a large mean motion, which is important for observing gravitational effects. The tracking of a Mars lander over a long period would yield conclusions in the areas of relativity (determination of the parameter beta), the inertial framework, Mars' internal structure (based on the polar moment), and Mars' physical ephemeris.
