NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and the European Space Agency are pursing a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission to collect and return samples of Martian rocks, soils and atmosphere from the surface of Mars to Earth. The goals of this campaign are deepen understanding of whether life ever existed on Mars and, in turn, better understand the origins of life on Earth. The heatshield for the EEV will use a 3D Mid-density Carbon Phenolic (3MDCP) system that is derived from the Insulating Layer of Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environments Technology (HEEET) family of TPS materials.
