In this paper, we proposed a miniature thermogravimetric analysis sensor by using quartz crystal microbalance. We optimized the heating electrode shape of the microheater-integrated QCM for measuring a component of the soil on Mars and physically adsorbed water content in the Martian dust. Then, we evaluated the heating properties of the QCM in vacuum environment. As a result, the temperature of the electrode heated up to 300°C. We found out the optimized QCM showed low power consumption and had superior heating properties.
