Scientific paper

Results of tradeoff studies concerning the Mars Surface Sample Return (MSSR) mission are presented. Factors considered include: Mars mission opportunities in the 1980-1990 time frame; design features of the hardware systems used to return the sample; minimization of probability of back contamination; direct entry of the returning sample capsule at earth vs. orbital capture of the capsule for recovery by the shuttle; and possibility of increasing the landed weight at Mars to support MSSR mission modes involving heavier systems.
