31st Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1993
Mars exploration planning is discussed which is based on three scientific objectives: to understand Mars' geologic and geophysical evolution; to understand the present state and past evolution of Martian climate, and to determine the state of present biological activity and past life.

Relay communications for Mars exploration
International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, 2007AbstractTelecommunication is an essential and challenging aspect of planetary exploration. For Mars landers, the constraints of mass, volume, power and energy typically limit their communications capabilities on the long‐distance link back to Earth. By deploying relay spacecraft in Martian orbit, these landers can achieve much greater data return and ...

Space technology and applications international forum (STAIF - 97), 1997
The Mars Exploration Program was initiated in 1994. It currently consists of a Discovery mission (Mars Pathfinder which will land in 1997) and the Mars Surveyor Program. The objectives of the Mars Surveyor Program are to launch 2 robotic missions every 26 months to address the three themes of Life, Climate, and Resources, with the focus of initial ...

Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. Electronic Art and Animation Catalog., 2002
This 100-percent CG visualization shows the Delta II rocket launch that will propel NASA's Mars Exploration Rover to the Red Planet in 2003. The animation, developed over a one-year period by a Cornell University undergraduate student, is intended to be dramatic, realistic, and scientifically accurate. It was created with a combination of off-the-shelf

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
In this paper we used an interdisciplinary approach to make students more interested in science, to increase and apply their knowledge, to better understand complex processes and phenomena and to connect different fields of science (physics, astronomy, astronautics, biology, geography, psychology, pedagogy, programming, etc.).

26th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1988
A systems study is underway of astronaut missions to Mars that could be accomplished over the next four decades. In addition to an emphasis on the transportation and facility infrastructure required for such missions, other relevant technologies and mission constraints are also being considered.

Rationale for Mars Exploration
Space 98, 1998Mars, the fourth planet from the sun, has already been explored quite extensively. There have been seven missions to Mars since 1964. There are many incentives for humans to continue to explore Mars. The purpose of this paper is to provide a rationale for Mars exploration.
