Mars Exploration Program 2007 Phoenix landing site selection and characteristics [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research E: Planets, 2008 To ensure a successful touchdown and subsequent surface operations, the Mars Exploration Program 2007 Phoenix Lander must land within 65° to 72° north latitude, at an elevation less than −3.5 km. The landing site must have relatively low wind velocities and rock and slope distributions similar to or more benign than those found at the Viking Lander 2 ...

Advanced electronics developed for NASA's Mars Exploration Program
2005 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2005Six electronic technologies under development for the Mars Technology Program are discussed. The scope of this set ranges from electronic packaging to microprocessors to power supply to communication technologies. An overview (motivation, objective, approach) of these six projects is presented, along with a comparison to the state-of-art.

Touching Mars: 1998 status of the Mars Robotic Exploration Program
Acta Astronautica, 1999Abstract The Mars Robotic Exploration Program is sending missions every 26 months to orbit and land on Mars and, in 2005, to return a sample to Earth. The highly successful Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor missions were launched in 1996. Mars Surveyor 98 will launch in December 1998 and January 1999, to be followed by an orbiter, lander and ...

“Mars on $300K a day”: The Mars exploration program
Acta Astronautica, 1996Abstract 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
