NASA's Mars Sample Return (MSR) program is facing another review, this time by an independent committee. The committee will assess previous studies and recommend a primary architecture for the mission, including cost and schedule estimates. The review comes as NASA seeks to refine its plans for bringing Martian samples back to Earth.
Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all ages.
