Keywords:Mars, Orbiter exploration, Habitable planet, climate change, atmospheric escape, radiation environment

Mars is a unique planet in terms of understanding of conditions for terrestrial planets to obtain a habitable environment. Recent discoveries from Martian explorations such as MAVEN have indicated importance of extreme solar variations and suggested new technical possibilities to measure Martian environment. In this presentation, a mission plan to explore key issues of space weather and climate at Mars will be presented.
