Scientific paper
Concepts for a manned mission to Mars have been examined as early as 1962. In 1969, NASA studies showed Apollo moon technology to be adequate for a 600-day flight with a proposed landing for 1982. However, financial drain, shifting economic priorities and a downgrading of the 'space race' in the late 1960s contributed to the downfall of the project. The successful Mariner and Viking missions of the 1970s have enhanced understanding of the planet, and in the wake of these flights, numerous studies have been made for future unmanned missions. Some suggested projects include a Mars Orbiter, sensor outposts, a mobile lander, A Mars' Air Force', and a return sample mission. Following a full unmanned reconnaissance of the planet, advances in space propulsion, refuelling and large scale construction, a manned voyage to Mars could be achieved.
