The 1:1 ΔVGA loop after launch can be skipped for the return leg as there is no need to reduce the relative velocity to the Earth, which will be cheaply dissipated in the atmosphere of our planet. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 10. SEP comet sample return mission to Wild...

Overview A suite of space missions aiming to collect, select, and return to the Earth some Mars surface and sub-surface samples is one of the most challenging but exciting projects dealing with space science and robotics. After initial steps where this type of mission has been studied ...
Mars Sample Return has always been an expensive, high-risk, high-reward project. But now, with realization of the mission’s actual cost and expanding timeline, Congress must commit to fully supporting the effort or risk tanking the rest of NASA’s plane
BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) -- China is seeking payload proposals for its Mars sample return mission and inviting overseas researchers to participate. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has called on overseas research institutions, including those in Hong Kong and Macao, to submit proposals...

He said the Senate currently is budgeting $200 million for ongoing development of the Mars Sample Return mission in NASA's fiscal 2025 budget. The House number is $600 million. Whatever number is eventually agreed on, Nelson said NASA will need at least $300 million in the final budget. ...
In short, the approach taken jointly by NASA and ESA with MSR has been focused on returning the best possible samples, Hamilton said, "and that could end up meaning that MSR is not the first Mars sample return mission." China scoops RELATED STORIES: — NASA wants new ideas for it...
Planning for success, scientists of the future will be able to debate the merits of the Mars 2020 samples after the sampling phase of the mission concludes in order to determine the highest value subset for return to Earth. The Mars 2020 science team is designing the sample documentation ...
"China has retrieved the first ever samples from the far side of the moon with the Chang'e-6 mission this year. Since Mars is much farther away than the moon, it will take two launches to carry out the Mars sample-return mission due to the limited carrying capacities of our current roc...
