A New Commercial Approach to Mars Sample Return | Lockheed Martin Space
Lockheed Martin Space: "As the nation looks to commercial industry to drive innovation in space exploration, we are leading the charge. Our latest offering to NASA is a game-changing solution for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, delivering a firm-fixed price solution for under $3 billion, a significant reduction from current estimates of $7 billion."
"By leveraging our extensive experience in deep space exploration and utilizing existing designs, we're streamlining operations and reducing risk to achieve a lower total mission cost. Our commercial industry-led design features a simplified and centralized architecture, enabling a drastic reduction in mass."
"Learn more about our innovative approach to MSR, featuring a smaller lander based on our flight-proven InSight spacecraft, a smaller Mars ascent vehicle and a smaller Earth entry system—all tailored to the needs of returning Mars samples. Join us as we push the boundaries of space exploration and show how science and deep space exploration can be done differently."
