The present evaluation of highly detailed advanced propulsion system design concepts for the Mars Rover Sample Return Mission proceeded by comparing a baseline chemical propulsion option with both storable and cryogenic advanced chemical propulsion alternatives and solar- and nuclear-based electric propulsion OTVs. Substantial launch mass reductions and commensurate payload mass increases were obtainable with both advanced chemical and electric propulsion cycles.
