Emerging Capabilities for Mars Exploration
We assess key capability needs for the next decade of Mars exploration, characterizing the current state of the art and identifying key capability gaps tied to high-priority mission concepts for the 2023–2032 time frame, as well as emerging technologies whose maturation in the coming decade can enable longer term Mars exploration pathways.
