| Description | The requirements for obtaining geological, geochemical, geophysical, and meteorological data on the surface of Mars associated with manned landings were analyzed. Specific instruments were identified and their mass and power requirements estimated. A total of 1 to 5 metric tons, not including masses of drill rigs and surface vehicles, will need to be landed. Power associated only with the scientific instruments is estimated to be 1 to 2 kWe. Requirements for surface rover vehicles were defined and typical exploration traverses during which instruments will be positioned and rock and subsurface core samples obtained were suggested. |
