HEDS-UP Mars Exploration Forum : held at Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas, May 4-5, 1998

Abstract

In the 1997-1998 school year, HEDS-UP sponsored six universities to conduct design studies on Mars exploration, using the Reference Mission as a basis for their work. The 1998 Mars Exploration Forum presents the results of these university studies, suggesting "how" we might explore Mars, in terms of specific technical components that would enable human missions to Mars.
