Scientific paper

This report demonstrates that it is prudent to have a 'theoretical basis' for Mars exploration architectures for two reasons: the systems engineer needs it to select architectures, and people (particularly those funding programs) require it to understand why the program must be done and to trace each mission objective to the overall goal. The overall goal and subset goals that must be accomplished are presented. It is shown that an outsider, one cognizant of space program factors but not the details, can trace a mission or an objective to the goals while testing for compatibility with the unresolved issues and selected attributes.
