NASA announced the selection of nine researchers to form the Science Team for the Mars Microprobes, "a technology validation mission that will hitchhike to the Red Planet aboard NASA's 1998 Mars Polar Lander mission." NASA intended the probes to collect data measuring thermal and physical properties of the soil while searching for the presence of water ice. The nine selected scientists were David C. Catling, Julio A. Magalhaes, Jeffrey E. Moersch, James R. Murphy, and Aaron Zent of NASA's Ames Research Center; Ralph D. Lorenz of the University of Arizona; Paul Morgan of Northern Arizona University; Bruce C. Murray of California Institute of Technology; and Marsha Presley of Arizona State University.
