The viewgraph presentation reports the results of the Decadal Planning Team's study of a short-stay mission to Mars. The report includes ground rules and assumptions; trajectory options, including a flyby of Venus on the return trip; a systems overview including transit habitat, descent/ascent vehicles, and interplanetary transportation; technology needs; and an architecture summary that reviews strengths and weaknesses of the plans, issues and follow-on work, and remaining work.
