Scientific paper

Since the early 1990s, NASA has implemented a number of low-cost, unmanned space exploration missions including the recent missions associated with the Mars Exploration Program, and also missions in the Discovery and Explorer Programs. This paper addresses a number of the system design and implementation considerations and lessons learned that must be addressed for these missions to be successful, and stresses that effective systems engineering practices must be adopted and applied consistently throughout all mission project phases. Emphasis is placed on highlighting effective approaches that have been successfully used in past programs. These considerations and lessons learned should be considered in formulating effective future technology demonstration and science exploration mission efforts for NASA's Nuclear Systems Initiative (NSI) and New Frontiers Program.
