16 kwi 2024 · NASA’s Mars Exploration Program is focusing on its future - delivering profound scientific investigation with a new strategic paradigm designed to send lower-cost, high-science-value missions and payloads to Mars at a higher frequency.
A long stay Mars mission requires about three years, six to eight months out, eighteen or so on the surface, and six to eight months back. It is interesting that the cost factors and the three year Mars mission duration result in a cost breakdown of 73% development, 18% launch, and 9% operations.
12 sie 2022 · This graphic by Jonathan Letourneau shows a timeline of every mission to Mars since 1960 using NASA’s historical data. A Timeline of Mars Explorations. According to a historical log from NASA, there have been 48 missions to Mars over the last 60 years. Here’s a breakdown of each mission, and whether or not they were successful: #
