An Efficient Approach for Mars Sample Return Using Emerging Commercial Capabilities.
Mars Sample Return is the highest priority science mission for the next decade as recommended by the 2011 Decadal Survey of Planetary Science [1]. This article presents the results of a feasibility study for a Mars Sample Return mission that efficiently uses emerging commercial capabilities expected to be available in the near future. The motivation of our study was the recognition that emergin...
متن کاملTechnology Development and Testing for Enhanced Mars Rover Sample Return Operations
This paper describes several Jet Propulsion Laboratory research efforts being conducted to support Mars sample return in the coming decade. After describing the 2003/05 mission scenario, we provide an overview of new technologies emerging from three complimentary research efforts: Long Range Science Rover, Sample Return Rover, and FIDO Rover. The results show improvements in planning, navigatio...
متن کاملLong-Range Rovers for Mars Exploration and Sample Return
This paper discusses long-range rovers to be flown as part of NASA’s newly reformulated Mars Exploration Program (MEP). These rovers are currently scheduled for launch first in 2007 as part of a joint science and technology mission, and then again in 2011 as part of a planned Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. These rovers are characterized by substantially longer range capability than their pre...
متن کاملSpace science. Rising costs could delay NASA's next mission to Mars and future launches.
Faced with a dramatically higher price tag, NASA managers will decide next month whether to postpone the launch of a sophisticated Mars rover for 2 years. Such a delay in the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) would mark a signif icant setback to the Mars research program, which has sent a new spacecraft to the planet every other year for a decade. Planetary scientists also worry that pushing back t...
متن کاملSOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION: A More Cautious NASA Sets Plans for Mars.
Twice burned by mission failures last year, NASA managers last week unveiled a new 15-year blueprint for Mars exploration. The revamped strategy allows for doing more science, but at a slower pace, while delaying a sample return until well into the next decade.
