Cover Story: In situ weather observations are essential for understanding the past, present, and future climate of Mars and for the preparation of human exploration. The MEDA meteorological station is onboard of the Perseverance rover with this aim. Suspended dust in the Martian atmosphere is one of the main drivers of the planet's climate. Its optical properties and vertical distribution affect the absorption and reflection of solar radiation, modulating the planet’s energy balance. The Radiation and Dust Sensor within MEDA will provide unprecedented insights on it. This article describes the sensor development cycle starting from the scientific objectives and continuing with the different design solutions adopted, the qualification, the calibration, and the validation of the retrieval methods with two campaigns performed in an Earth Martian analog.
