Mechanisms for Lowering Tethered Payloads: Lessons Learned from the Mars Exploration Program
2008 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2008Compact, lightweight, highly reliable lowering devices capable of paying out tether to lower a payload some number of meters with exacting performance, from a balloon or a parachute or part of a spacecraft, typically appear in systems so unique that there is little historical precedent to build upon when preparing designs.

Mars Exploration Rover Thermal Test Program Overview
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2004<div class="htmlview paragraph">In January 2004, two Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) landed on the surface of Mars to begin their mission as robotic geologists. A year prior to these historic landings, both rovers and the spacecraft that delivered them to Mars, were completing a series of environmental tests in facilities at the Jet Propulsion ...

Mars Exploration Rover Parachute Decelerator System Program Overview
17th AIAA Aerodynamic Decelerator Systems Technology Conference and Seminar, 2003In the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Mission, NASA returns to the red planet, following the extremely successful Mars Pathfinder in 1997. The mission will send two lander-rovers to the surface of Mars with separate launches in May and June, 2003. This paper describes the Parachute Decelerator System for the entry vehicle.

Scientific Objectives of China-Russia Joint Mars Exploration Program YH-1
Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010Abstract Compared with other planets, Mars is a planet most similar with the earth and most possible to find the extraterrestrial life on it, and therefore especially concerned about by human beings. In recent years, some countries have launched Mars probes and announced their manned Mars exploration programs.

The arrival of multiple US and European planetary exploration missions at Mars (Squires et al., 2004a, 2004b; Clery, 2004) provided an opportunity to introduce students to geologic observation in general, and to planetary geology in particular, with all the excitement involved in “real-time” remote data acquisition from another planet.

Athena - A possible first step in a program of human Mars exploration
32nd Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1996This paper discusses the "Athena" mission, a concept for an initial piloted mission to Mars that could be launched at low cost in the very near future. Athena is a double flyby, which uses two Mars gravity assist maneuvers to allow a round trip Mars mission to be performed with a single minimum energy trans-Mars injection burn.
