Yagi with circular polarization. Never tried for the Mars sats; the pointing accuracy probably isn't really up to that kind of work.
"Spiny Norman" satellite antenna array: on Yaesu G-5400-B az-el rotor
2m: 20 element CP yagi (Cushcraft A144-20T) 11.1 dBd gain
70cm: 30 element 70cm CP yagi (Hygain 7030SAT) 14dBdc gain
2.4GHz: Millicom S-band RX downconverter, 27dB gain, 3db NF 18-turn K5OE helix
