Title: Surface activities on the first piloted Mars mission
Abstract: The objectives of the first piloted Mars mission, in addition to safe Mars landing and return to earth for the crew, would encompass a demonstration of human working capabilities in the Martian environment, the exploration of the landing site, and the establishment of that planet's potential for the support of permanent human habitation. An evaluation is presently made of constraints on Martian service activities, mission risk considerations, and the three mission profiles that can be envisioned for total durations of 14, 21, and 35 months.
