A photoelectrochemical system for splitting carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and oxygen is discussed. The Martian atmosphere consists of 95% carbon dioxide. Splitting carbon dioxide would provide both oxygen to support life and carbon monoxide, which can be used as a substitute for hydrogen fuel. T

This paper presents an assessment of some fundamental issues of orbital transfers for round-trip Mars missions, in particular, the interplay between flight time, characteristic velocity, and mass ratio for both robotic and manned missions. For robotic missions, the best trajectory is the minimum ene
An analysis of cryogenic liquefaction and storage methods for in-situ produced propellants (oxygen and methane) on Mars is presented. The application is to a subscale precursor sample return mission, intended to demonstrate critical cryogenic technologies prior to a human mission. A heat transfer an
