Scientific paper
The objective of this study is to generate a set of cargo and crew vehicles that together would satisfy Human Mars exploration goals, and serve as an evaluation yardstick for further comparisons. A Mars architecture is defined, a 8 year cycle of missions covering the years 2031-2038 is laid out, payloads are selected, primary operational and performance characteristics of the vehicles are set forth, and several trade studies are presented. Study recommendations include short duration opposition class trajectories for the initial crew mission, Nuclear Thermal Propulsion for the Earth-Mars transfer stages, and oxygen/hydrogen, rather than oxygen/methane propulsion, for Mars ascent.
