"Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar examined and rocketed into, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked and even blasted. Still to come: Mars being stepped on." - Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 astronaut #humanstomars #ontomars

Two maps illustrating scenarios for a Mars Reference Mission, studied in the 1990s. The top map shows a landing area on or near a plateau of layered sediments in Valles Marineris. The bottom map shows the area around Tharsis and Valles Marineris, with several potential Base Camp sites and long rover traverses to sites of interest, the big volcanoes and canyons.

The focus was on Valles Marineris and Tharsis, and several university groups developed exploration plans. The top map shows a landing area in the canyon system where layered sediments suggested deposition in a lake. Another scenario involved a base camp (with […]

Our next mission which didn't happen is the Mars Reference Mission, a study done during the late 1990s of a human Mars mission. Infrastructure and supplies would be launched in 2007, 2009 and 2011, and a six person crew would fly in 2013. Sample return and resource utilization experiments would […]
