Scientific Objectives of China-Russia Joint Mars Exploration Program YH-1

Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010
Abstract 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.

High and low thrust mission analysis for a Mars exploration program

Astrodynamics Conference, 1990
The purpose of the study is to identify limits, trends, and sensitivities of Mars Transportation System performance over several Mars mission opportunities. Two Mars Transfer Vehicle (MTV) configurations utilizing different propulsion systems (Chemical/Aerobrake and NEP - Nuclear Electric Propulsion) are outlined.

Mechanisms for Lowering Tethered Payloads: Lessons Learned from the Mars Exploration Program

2008 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2008
Compact, 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.

Introducing Critical Observation Skills Using NASA's Mars Exploration Program in a Small Introductory Class

Journal of Geoscience Education, 2007
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.

Role of Launch Vehicles in Moon-Mars Exploration Program

Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 1998
Currently available launch vehicles cannot support logistically the human exploration of the Moon and Mars in the next century. They are too small and too expensive for this job. Past studies have shown that the costs of programs leading to the acquisition and operation of extraterrestrial bases are driven by the space transportation system, which ...

Mars Rover Models - A Program to Enrich Teaching Space Science, Planetary Exploration and Robotics in Elementary and Middle School

43rd AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2005
The present aerospace engineering and science workforce is ageing. It is not clear that the US education system will produce enough qualified replacements to meet the need in the near future. Unfortunately, by the time many students get to high school, it is often too late to get them pointed toward an engineering or science career.
