Future exploration of Mars is summed up by the proposal that the Martian satellites provide an ideal base for exploring the surface of Mars. For example, a manned base on Deimos could direct a series of unmanned rovers and sample recovery operations, providing an immediate feedback to the operation. Samples analyzed in such an environment would be fresh, and most importantly, would not require quarantine.
