Concept for Manned Missions to Mars
In a previous paper, a new scenario for human missions to Mars has been presented. It can be named the 2-4-2 concept. The idea is to minimize IMLEO and the payload on Mars with a crew of only two astronauts. There are two astronauts in each rocket at departure from Earth. They meet on Mars to form a team of four and the pairs are reconstituted for the return (2-4-2). In the previous study it wa...
متن کاملMars Exploration Rover candidate landing sites as viewed by THEMIS
The analysis of six landing sites that were candidates for the two NASA Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) benefited from recently available image data from the Thermal Emission Imaging Spectrometer (THEMIS) onboard the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. The combination of daytime and nighttime thermal infrared images from THEMIS supplemented by additional data sets has lead to new or expanded insights i...
متن کاملOxygen recovery systems for manned space flight.
T H E PROBLEM of supplying man with his oxygen requirement and uncontaminated air during prolonged confinement is receiving considerable research attention. In particular, the recovery of oxygen using biological specimens as the mechanism for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen plus other materials has been the subject of many papers recently. There can be no doubt concerning the need for a r...
متن کاملComparing Quantitative Morphology of Clasts at Three Landing Sites on Mars: Mars
Background. Much of the sedimentary transport and depositional history of Mars may be recorded in the morphologic characteristics of the individual rocks or particles that make up its sedimentary clast population (defined as a rock fragment or grain resulting from the breakdown of larger rocks or bedrock). Measuring morphology is crucial; it retains the best record of sorting and abrasive effec...
متن کاملErosion rates at the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites and long-term climate change on Mars
[1] Erosion rates derived from the Gusev cratered plains and the erosion of weak sulfates by saltating sand at Meridiani Planum are so slow that they argue that the present dry and desiccating environment has persisted since the Early Hesperian. In contrast, sedimentary rocks at Meridiani formed in the presence of groundwater and occasional surface water, and many Columbia Hills rocks at Gusev ...
