A conceptual approach was taken to design an airborne exploration vehicle capable of operating in the Martian atmosphere. To complete the design, a modular Carriage and Track system capable of deploying and retrieving the aircraft was also developed. Known as the Martian Airborne Exploration Vehicle, it is a solar powered wing body design with a span of 30.5 meters and a chord of 1.2 meters. With a full payload of 30 N, it weighs 300 N on Mars and has 4 propellers, which are capable of generating enough thrust to reach a maximum velocity of 67 m/s at a maximum altitude of 500 meters. The maximum radius of operation at the equator is 1000 kilometers. A 60-meter long Carriage and Track system fastened to the ground will be able to deploy the MAEV using a rocket assisted takeoff process, and then retrieve it using a resistance pulley mechanism.
