The radar sounder on board Mars Express, MARSIS, will map the subsurface structure from a depth of about a hundred metres to as much as a few kilometres. This is in contrast with the Mars Odyssey, which can sense surface compositions to a depth of only one metre.

Now this data will prove to be interesting.

Also, the BEAGLE-2 will be a very nice experiment. Hope they make a soft landing.
