Two-Mission Campaign for Mars Sample Acquisition and Return
Abstract
We propose a two-mission mars sample acquisition and return campaign that consists of an orbiter launched in 2018 followed by a surface mission launched in 2020. The resulting campaign would reduce overall cost while increasing relevancy across NASA’s interests.
