Scientific paper
The power requirements and resultant power system performances of an aggressive Mars mission are characterized. The power system technologies discussed will support both cargo and piloted space transport vehicles as well as a six person crew on the Martian surface for 600 days. The mission utilizes materials transported by cargo vehicles and materials produced using in-situ planetary feed stock to establish a life-support cache and infrastructure for the follow-on piloted lander. Numerous power system technical options are sized to meet the mission power requirements using both conventional and novel solar, nuclear, and wireless power transmission technologies for both stationary and mobile surface applications as well as space applications. Technology selections will depend on key criteria such as mass, volume, area, maturity, and application flexibility.
