Subtopics

Von Braun Cargo Ship American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1952.

Von Braun Passenger Ship American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1952. The first design for a manned Mars orbiter based on engineering analysis. 10 passengers would be housed in a 20-m-diameter sphere during the 963 day mission to Mars, in Mars orbit, and back to earth.

1956 Von Braun Passenger Ship American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1956. The 1956 version of Von Braun's Mars design was slashed by 50% in mass, while the number of passengers was increased from 10 to 12.

1956 Von Braun Cargo Ship American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1956. Using the same basic systems as the Passenger Ship, the Cargo Ship would substitute a 177 metric ton Landing Boat for the surface expedition in place of the Passenger Sphere and propellant for the return home.

Kosmoplan Russian Mars orbiter. Cancelled 1965. Beginning in the late 1950's, Chelomei began studying use of his encapsulated cruise missile technology for spacecraft. A whole family of unmanned spacecraft, dubbed Kosmoplans, would be built using modular elements.

MM American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1968. The Mission Module (MM) could be modified according to requirements of a particular interplanetary manned mission.

Mars M-69 Russian Mars orbiter. Mars probe intended to enter Martian orbit and comprehensively photograph Mars.

Mariner 8-9 American Mars orbiter. The Mariner Mars 71 mission was planned to consist of two spacecraft on complementary missions. Mars lander built by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for NASA, USA. Launched 1971.

Planetary Mission Module American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1969. NASA had the long range goal of sending men to explore the planet Mars.

PH-D Proposal American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1981. 1981 Mars orbiter expedition design, using Phobos and Deimos as bases, and using solar electric propulsion.

Fobos 1F Russian Mars orbiter. The 1F spacecraft was flown on the Phobos mission to Mars, consisting of 2 nearly identical spacecraft. Mars orbiter, 1 or 2 Phobos lander, Russia. Launched 1988.

STCAEM Cryogenic Aerobrake MTV American manned Mars orbiter. Study 1991. The Mars Transfer Vehicle (MTV) configuration consisted of a transit habitat sized for four crew, an aerobrake, and a transearth injection Propulsion system.

Mars Observer American Mars orbiter. Mars Observer was a NASA mission to study the surface, atmosphere, interior and magnetic field of Mars from Martian orbit. Mars lander built by RCA Astro => GE Astro for NASA, USA. Launched 1992. Used Observer Bus.

Mars Together Russian Mars orbiter. Study 1994. In 1994-95, RKK Energia, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory analyzed the project 'Mars Together'.

Mars Global Surveyor American Mars orbiter. Mars Global Surveyor was a polar orbiting spacecraft designed to monitor Martian global weather and provide comprehensive maps of surface topography and the distribution of minerals. Mars lander operated by NASA, USA. Launched 1996.

Mars M1 Russian Mars orbiter. Mars orbiter, 2 landers, 2 surface penetrators satellite, Russia. Launched 1996.

Nozomi Japanese Mars orbiter.

MCO American Mars orbiter. Mars Climate Orbiter. The Mars Climate Orbiter was to have accomplished mapping and weather studies of Mars and served as a relay for data from the Mars Polar Lander.

Mars Odyssey American Mars orbiter built by Lockheed Martin for NASA, USA. Launched 2001. Mars Odyssey had the primary science mission of mapping the amount and distribution of chemical elements and minerals that make up the Martian surface.

Mars Express European Mars orbiter. The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter, designed to be built more quickly than any other comparable planetary mission, was a resounding success. Mars orbiter, Mars lander (Beagle 2) satellite built by Astrium for ESA, Europe. Launched 2003.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter American Mars orbiter. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was the first spacecraft designed from the beginning for aerobraking to place it into the desired orbit around Mars.
