Geological evaluation of the MSRAD field site by a human field party: Implications for rover-based exploration operations and for the future human exploration of Mars
David Beaty,V. Hipkin,C. M. Caudill,R. Hansen,Elisabeth M. Hausrath,Catherine Maggiori,Ryan McCoubrey,Joseph Parrish,S. J. Ralston +8 more
TL;DR: The results broadly support the concept of walkabout as an effective strategy for robotic planetary exploration with a specific finding related to mapping stratigraphic relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

John A. Grant,Frances Westall,David Beaty,Sherry L. Cady,Michael H. Carr,Valérie Ciarletti,Angioletta Coradini,Anders Elfving,Daniel P. Glavin,Fred Goesmann,Joel A. Hurowitz,Gian Gabriele Ori,Roger J. Phillips,Christopher G. Salvo,Mark A. Sephton,Marguerite Syvertson,Jorge L. Vago +16 more
TL;DR: These two rovers have two crucial shared objectives that could, in fact, form the basis of highly significant collaborative exploration activity and the following set of shared scientific objectives are proposed.
Report of the Organic Contamination Science Steering Group
David Beaty,Paul Mahaffy,Morgan J. Anderson,G. Aveni,J. L. Bada,S. Clement,David J. Des Marais,Susanne Douglas,Jason P. Dworkin,R. Kern,Dimitri Papanastassiou,F. Palluconi,John J. Simmonds,Andrew Steele,H. Waite,Aaron P. Zent +15 more
TL;DR: The organic contamination science steering group (OCSSG) as mentioned in this paper was created to address the potential impact of terrestrial contamination on the measurement of reduced carbon with sensitive in situ instruments in order to reach definitive conclusions regarding the source of organic molecules.
Scientific Investigations Associated with the Human Exploration of Mars in the Next 35 Years
Paul B. Niles,David Beaty,Lindsay Hays,D. S. Bass,M. S. Bell,Jake Bleacher,Nathalie A. Cabrol,Pan Conrad,Dean Eppler,Vicky Hamilton,J. W. Head,Melinda A. Kahre,Joseph S. Levy,Timothy W. Lyons,Scot Rafkin,James R Rice,Melissa Rice +16 more
TL;DR: Niles et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a summary of the findings of the Human Science Objectives Science Analysis Group, or HSO-SAG chartered by MEPAG in 2015 to address science objectives and landing site criteria for future human missions to Mars.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Some strategic considerations related to the potential use of water resource deposits on Mars by future human explorers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an economic assessment that takes into account information about geologic and engineering attributes and the "cost" of obtaining this information, which would be essential if utilization of martian is situ water resources is to become a part of human exploration of Mars.
