NASA’s
vision is to implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program
to explore the solar system and beyond.
The NASA Office for Exploration Systems is responsible for the program to
develop the new planetary exploration spacecraft and associated systems.
This spacecraft will allow man to return to the Moon and to also travel to
Mars. But what are the activities that will be undertaken during a Mars
mission? Garry Lyles will examine advancements in this program, evolving
spacecraft features, the likely timetable for progress, and the possible
role for international commercial and national partners in the project.
