Mars climate engineering using orbiting solar reflectors [PDF]
The manned mission is seen as a first step towards a Mars surface exploration base-station and, later, establishing permanent settlement. The location and use of Mars's natural resources is vital to enable cost-effective long-duration human exploration ...

The Analysis of the Topside Additional Layer of Martian Ionosphere Using MARSIS/Mars Express Data [PDF]
In this study, the transient second or third layer on the topside of the Martian ionosphere were investigated with the most recently released Mars advanced radar for subsurface and ionospheric sounding/Mars Express data obtained from January 2010 to ...

Observations of the nightside ionosphere of Mars by the Mars Express Radio Science Experiment (MaRS) [PDF]
The vertical structure of the nightside ionosphere of Mars and its dependence on solar zenith angle are currently poorly determined, as is the importance of two key sources of nightside plasma, electron precipitation and transport of dayside plasma. We examined 37 electron density profiles of the ionosphere of Mars at solar zenith angles of 101°–123 ...

Precise Orbit Determination of MEX Flyby Phobos Using Simulated Radiometric and Image Data
A navigation camera or topography camera is a standard payload for deep space missions and the image data are normally used for auto-navigation. In this work, we study the potential contribution of image data in precise orbit determination for deep space
