"Taxpayers both in the U.S. and Europe should be righteously angry at Congress, NASA and ESA for not appropriating the funds and designing the projects necessary to hold to the original return date," Hubbard concluded.Hear, hear! But even if a sample grab partly mirrors the collected m...
"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 astat...
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.” ...
In a few years, NASA and the ESA will conduct the long-awaitedMars Sample Return(MSR) mission. This mission will consist of a lander that will pick up the samples, an ascent vehicle that will send them to orbit, an orbiter that will return them to Earth, and an entry vehicle ...
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 ...
NASA reveals date for attempted return flight of troubled Starliner The small, lightweight vehicle will become the first rocket to launch from another planet at the start of the multi-stage journey to transport rock, sediment, and atmospheric samples from the surface of Mars all the way to Eart...

Mars sample return: NASA's Perseverance rover to return Martian meteorites to Mars Related: Air sealed in Perseverance's Mars sample return tubes is as precious as the rocks themselves So, earlier this year, NASA called a halt to those plans, and solicited ideas for new, cheaper and faster...
“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 ...
“I found this rock in the ancient riverbed here at Jezero Crater,”the rover saidin its post, adding that it planned to take a sample and have it sent back as part of the upcoming Mars Sample Return mission, which will allow scientists to take a closer look. ...
