We clearly have not been able to construct a viable Mars mission architecture. Two reasons are (i) we describe a complete mission suite that exactly utilizes available resources, without building in adequate flexibility to respond to scientific or technical issues, and (ii) decision points on imminent missions are coming faster than our ability to converge on an architecture, so that we are at risk of flying missions that do not fit into the broader goals of the program. I would like to propose an approach to constructing an architecture that will allow us to move steadily toward achieving the science goals. The basic thrust is that we need to develop the capabilities needed in a stepwise manner, maintain flexibility to deal with setbacks by not committing to missions too far in advance, and ensure that the missions flown fit in a straightforward and appropriate way into the overall program goals.
