Expedition Mars: A Mars Analogue Program Dedicated to Advancing Competency in Human Planetary Surface Exploration

41st International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2011
Mars analogue research facilities are excellent tools for advancing comparative planetology scientific research and exploration methodologies, as well as for investigating and devising countermeasures for the challenges astronauts may encounter while exploring the Martian surface.

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 ...

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.

Intersections and Opportunities in Human Exploration, Science and Technology Identified in the Mars Program Planning Group

AIAA SPACE 2013 Conference and Exposition, 2013
The Mars Program Planning Group (MPPG) was chartered in March 2012 by the NASA Associate Administrator for Science, in collaboration with NASA’s Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and Operations, Chief Scientist, and Chief Technologist. The MPPG developed foundations for a program-level architecture for robotic exploration of Mars that is ...

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.

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.

Athena - A possible first step in a program of human Mars exploration

32nd Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1996
This 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.

An experimental program for space solar power development compatible with human moon and mars exploration

Acta Astronautica, 2000
Abstract The question of developing a space solar power system (SSPS) remains on the agenda as long as the energy supply of our planet is not secured for at least the next century. At the present time the oil and gas prices are low enough not to alarm the responsible governmental agencies and commercial enterprises. This may change in a few decades
