A Mission Activities and Resources Scheduler (MARS) is described. It is a mission planning tool for both automatic and interactive generation of spacecraft timelines of realistic complexity, which has been extensively tested during Columbus, Hermes, and Eureca mission planning. It is in operational use for Eureca maneuver planning. It is being extended to full distributed mission planning capability for the Columbus mission planning scenario under the ESA contract New Expert Planning Tool for Users in a Networked Environment (NEPTUNE). The main features of the planning tools used for Columbus, Hermes, and Eureca mission planning are discussed.
