Scientific paper

Three small inexpensive mission concepts for Mars landing and exploration are described emphasizing expected scientific returns that can lead to human exploration. The Mars Explorer mission prepares for human missions by means of landing-site reconnaissance and characterization, while the Surface Lander Investigation of Mars mission uses a single probe and robotics to image the surface and analyze samples. The Mars Environmental Survey experiment is reported in which robotics are employed to study the soil, atmosphere, weather and seismic activity on the red planet.
