Description
The results of a conceptual design study of a Mars roving vehicle mission in 1979 are presented. Descriptions of the mission, science objectives, vehicle configuration and subsystems are included. Mission analysis parameters required to define a mission profile and sequence of events are presented. Science operations including the deployment of small, self-contained, long-lived meteorology and/or seismology stations are considered. The vehicle system is described by the functional requirements, vehicle configuration and weight and power allocations. Following the system description, seven subsystems on board the vehicle are considered. The characteristics and capabilities of each are described. Mission operations also were evaluated to the degree necessary to identify the areas of foremost concern.
