For lots more on the Archimedes project check out http://archimedes.marssociety.de]archimedes.marssociety.de.

In addition, there's some more detailed info about the "AMSAT" probe (called "P5-A") in a PDF file titled http://www.amsat-dl.org/p5a/p5a-to-mars.pdf]To Mars With P5-A. (Also check out AMSATs]http://www.amsat-dl.org/p5a/]AMSAT's website on the P5-A)

A http://www.hobbyspace.com/AAdmin/archiv … 27.04]page at Hobbyspace.com (in a news item dated 27/9/2004) adds a few more tidbits.

The P5-A would be an orbiter. The German Mars Society has proposed that it carry an additional craft that would release a balloon  that would provide descend into the atmosphere and transmit back various measurements.

This is followed by what looks like a (longish) press release about the Archimedes project.
