Phil Stooke<p>... After the joint operations ExoMars continues its mission and MAX-C gets more samples, then caches them. In maps E and F the two rovers land together and set off on independent missions. MAX-C still collects samples and caches them. </p><p>In 2009 attention turned in a new direction. All previous landing site studies had been done for specific missions like Viking or Phoenix. But there was a good reason why this should change, as we will see tomorrow. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>
Phil Stooke<p>Here are some 2-rover scenarios from 2010 studies. They were done for 2 sites, North Meridiani (north of Opportunity) and Eberswalde, another of the great delta complexes like Jezero. This version is for sample return and is not exactly what I mentioned yesterday. MAX-C lands, collects and caches samples. A second lander with return vehicle lands nearby and uses a Fetch Rover to pick up the cache for return to Earth.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>

Phil Stooke<p>MAX-C would be a mid-sized rover but it would land on a copy of the MSL (Curiosity) skycrane. Extra mass could be landed with it and one option was a second rover provided by ESA. But what do you do with 2 rovers together? Tomorrow we will look at some ideas for a joint mission.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>
Phil Stooke<p>Here are 4 more potential sites for the MAX-C rover. Each has a context map (left) and a closeup (right) whose location is the 'science target' in the context map. A is a pit on the floor of Asimov crater. C is just outside Jezero crater - upstream from the delta Perseverance has explored. E is a patch of chloride salts (sign of evaporating water) and G is in the north polar ice cap but would explore a slope of layered sediments.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>

Phil Stooke<p>Here are some thoughts about where MAX-C would go. The global map shows some sites, shown in more detail below and tomorrow (the Figure numbers are from my new book). Map B shows five small recent craters which had dug up ice and '5' was chosen as the target (map C). D is a lobate flow structure, hinting at ice, with a rover route shown in E. F is in Nili Fossae near Jezero, with its targets in G. E and G are the 'science target areas' in D and F.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>
Phil Stooke<p>That simple sampling is not as sophisticated as the carefully curated cores from Perseverance, but it would still be very valuable. China's upcoming sample return will be a bit more than this, and let's face it, it's coming to Earth well before Perseverance's.</p><p>But the next mission I want to look at was a precursor to Perseverance, a mid-sized rover (between MER and MSL) which would collect and cache samples for later return. It was called MAX-C (Mars Astrobiology Explorer-Cacher).<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/max" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>max</span></a>-c</p>
