This Addendum to the Mars Reference Mission summarizes changes and updates to the Mars Reference Missions that were developed by the Exploration Office since the final draft of SP 6107 'Human Exploration of Mars...' (N19980037039) was printed in early 1997. The Reference Mission is a tool used by the exploration community to compare and evaluate approaches to mission and system concepts that could be used for human missions to Mars. It is intended to identify and clarify system drivers, significant sources of cost, performance, risk, and schedule variation. Several alternative scenarios, employing different technical approaches to solving mission and technology challenges, are discussed in this Addendum. The Addendum represents a snapshot of work in progress in support of planning for future human exploration missions through May 1998.
