Mars exploration missions

Space Programs and Technologies Conference, 1990
Several robotic exploration missions to Mars that are proposed for inclusion in the Space Exploration Mission are reviewed. The missions discussed range from remote sensing orbital missions to landed missions, such as simple surface stations and roving vehicles. The discussion covers engineering and science objectivess of the missions, data acquisition

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 on $300K a day”: The Mars exploration program

Acta Astronautica, 1996
Abstract The Mars Exploration Program is pioneering a series of “better, faster, cheaper” missions to Mars over at least the next 10 years, and possibly well into the 21st century. The overall cost of the program is somewhat over $100M per year, including launch vehicles and operations, for two launches every 26 months. (This works out to about $300K

THE MARS EXPLORATION ROVERS: HITTING THE ROAD ON MARS

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005
Since the beginning of time, people have been fascinated by Mars. From the earliest mission to now-Mars has been (and is) a challenging destination. The Rovers were developed at a breakneck pace in 3 years and landed successfully on Mars in January 2004.
