"Independent review boards like the one we commissioned for Mars Sample Return help review whether we're on the right track to meet our mission goals within the appropriate budget," Sandra Connelly, deputy associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said in asta...

to review the concepts that have been developed to date, and also to look at the cost and schedule that we’re proposing and to make sure that they agree that we’ve got the right resources we need to do this job,” Jeff Gramling, Mars Sample Return program director at...
and in some ways, in a synchronized manner. This short animation features key moments of the Mars Sample Return campaign: from landing on Mars and securing the sample tubes to launching them off the surface, and ferrying them back to Earth.” ...
China has moved up the date for its Mars sample return mission while the US slashes its own trip to collect rocks from the Red Planet.
the slower rate tests the computer model’s ability to simulate impacts on their shield and allows the team to study how the material reacts to the kinetic energy. As we get closer to the launch date of the Mars Sample Return mission (currently scheduled for 2028), the team will ...
according to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. This has led to a bloated and poorly planned approach to getting the Mars samples to Earth. "The bottom line is, an $11 billion budget is too expensive, and a 2040 return date is too far away,"saidNelson. The MSR is important, but NASA is...
“Mars Sample Return will be one of the most complex missions NASA has ever undertaken. The bottom line is, an $11 billion budget is too expensive, and a 2040 return date is too far away,” said Nelson in astatement. “Safely landing and collecting the samples, launching a rocket with ...
To date, typical Mars Sample Return (MSR) architectures employ a dual launch. However, the MSR could be launched on a single Ares V---reducing cost, risk, and technology development. Total masses were predicted for four architectures, all utilizing a common outbound strategy but unique return ...
