Philippe Lognonné, +186 more
TL;DR: The science goals of the experiment and the rationale used to define its requirements are described, and the hardware, from the sensors to the deployment system and associated performance, including transfer functions of the seismic sensors and temperature sensors are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mars Sample Return Campaign Concept Status

TL;DR: Overall objectives and mission options will be described, including the architecture's constraints and notional timelines, and architecture-level trade studies, including specific elements and their status are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

InSight Mars Lander Robotics Instrument Deployment System

TL;DR: The InSight Mars Lander is equipped with an Instrument Deployment System (IDS) and science payload with accompanying auxiliary peripherals mounted on the Lander as mentioned in this paper, which is responsible for the first precision robotic instrument placement and release of SEIS and HP3 on a planetary surface.

Mechanical design of the Mars Pathfinder mission

TL;DR: In this article, the Mars Pathfinder mission and the Sojourner rover were reported on, with emphasis on the various mission steps and the performance of the technologies involved, and the mechanical design of mission hardware was critical to the success of the entry sequence and landing operations.
