Develop two evolutionary rigid vehicle concepts to deliver human-scale payloads (20 metric tons) to the surface of Mars: Capsule; Lifting body, mid-range lift-to-drag ratio (Mid L/D). Determine vehicle configurations for various mission flight phases. Determine vehicle performance: Integrated system mass; Ability to meet landing constraints; Payload packaging and surface access. Provide technology investment recommendations to NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate.
