Proceedings ArticleDOI
Human exploration of Mars, Design Reference Architecture 5.0
TL;DR: The 2007 Mars Design Reference Architecture 5.0 as discussed by the authors provides a common framework for future planning of systems concepts, technology development, and operational testing as well as potential Mars robotic missions, research conducted on the International Space Station, and future potential lunar exploration missions.
Journal ArticleDOI
