NASA’s Moon to Mars Objectives lay out a strategic vision for the future of human spaceflight that culminates in crewed missions to the surface of Mars. The Mars Campaign Office (MCO) of the Moon to Mars Program is responsible for developing the technologies and capabilities necessary to support Mars missions. One such set of technologies supports a need for increased independence from Earth driven primarily by a communications delay between Earth and Mars that can reach twenty minutes or more. This paper lays out the initial strategy and approach for the MCO Earth-Independent Operations (EIO) portfolio and identifies areas targeted for investment between now and Mars missions tentatively planned for the early 2040s.
