Abstract :
The Temperature sensor of the DREAMS (Dust characterization, Risk assessment and Environment Analyzer on the Martian Surface) package, MarsTEM, on board the Exomars2016 Entry and Descent Module (EDM) is designed to provide information on the variations of the Martian weather during the 2+2 days of mission during the dusty season on Mars. The present paper provides some background on the temperature instrument, it´s heritage, the design, the testing and qualification and the analysis conducted on the sensor models during the last months.
