Geologic exploration of Mars

Space Programs and Technologies Conference, 1990
The scientific objectives and methods involved in a geologic exploration of Mars from a manned outpost are discussed. The constraints on outpost activities imposed by the limited crew size, limited amount of time available for science, the limited diversity of scientific expertise, and the competition between scientific disciplines are addressed.

Science strategy for human exploration of Mars

Advances in Space Research, 1992
The scientific objectives of Mars exploration can be framed within the overarching theme of exploring Mars as another home for life, both for evidence of past or present life on Mars, and as a potential future home for human life. The two major areas of research within this theme are: 1) determining the relationship between planetary evolution ...

Mission opportunities for human exploration of Mars

Planetary and Space Science, 1998
Abstract An indirect optimization procedure is applied to find the mission opportunities for a manned or round-trip mission to Mars. Both the conjunction-class and opposition-class high-thrust trajectories are considered, taking into account simple legs (with only departure and arrival impulses), three-impulse legs (departure, midcourse and arrival ...

Mars-96 mission: Mars exploration with the use of penetrators

Planetary and Space Science, 1998
Abstract Within the frames of the Mars-96 Mission the penetrators were first developed for the investigation of the chemical composition and physical properties of the Martian rocks, research into the internal structure of the planet, studying of its surface, atmosphere and climate.

Mars observer as a precursor to intensive exploration of Mars

Acta Astronautica, 1992
The Mars Observer Mission, to be launched by the United States in September 1992, is designed to perform an extended orbital study of the Martian surface, atmosphere, climate, and gravitational and magnetic fields using a spacecraft in Mars orbit for one Martian year.

Exobiology and the Exploration of Mars

Applied Optics, 1969
Our limited understanding of the Martian environment has stimulated much speculation on the possible existence of a. Martin biota. This understanding is being steadily improved by ground-based observing techniques. Rapid advances have been made by the Mariner IV flyby and will be made by the Mariner 1969 flybys and the Mariner 1971 orbiters.

Thermal Challenges of Mars Exploration

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1998
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The exploration of Mars is a major thrust of NASA. Some of the important goals of this exploration are the search for life; understanding the planet's evolution by in-situ and remote scientific measurements; developing an inventory of useful resources, including accessible water; and sample return as a precursor to
