Thirty-three vital papers, studies, reports, and proposals from 1996 through September 2012 are included in this unique compilation with over a 1000 pages of detailed material, providing extraordinary details about planning for robotic Mars exploration - focusing on rovers, landers, orbiters, and sample return missions. There is full coverage of all aspects of Mars science, with information on geology, astrobiology, and habitable environments
There are seven reports and documents from 2011-2012, including the newly released and influential Mars Program Planning Group report on future robotic and manned missions.
