In: Proceedings of The Founding Convention of the Mars Society, edited by Zubrin, RM, and Zubrin, M. Univelt, Incorporated.
The presence of an atmosphere on Mars provides planetary scientists with the opportunity to extend their coverage for robotic exploration. In this brief talk, Mr. Hall will discuss basic design considerations for the design and development of atmospheric science platforms for Martian missions including similarities and differences with terrestrial applications. He will highlight aerodynamic and propulsion requirements and will give an overview of the Mars Flyer development programs he’s been involved with at NASA/Ames Research Center since the summer of 1996.
