The general profile and overarching goal of this proposed mission is topioneer potentially highly beneficial (even vital) and cost-effectivetechniques for the future human colonization of Mars. Adopting radically newand disruptive solutions untested in the Martian context, our approach is oneof high risk and high reward. The real possibility of such a solution failinghas prompted us to base our mission architecture around a rover carrying a setof 6 distinct experimental payloads, each capable of operating independently onthe others, thus substantially increasing the chances of the mission yieldingsome valuable findings. At the same time, we sought to exploit availablesynergies by assembling a combination of payloads that would together form acoherent experimental ecosystem, with each payload providing potential value tothe others. Apart from providing such a testbed for evaluation of noveltechnological solutions, another aim of our proposed mission is to helpgenerate scientific know-how enhancing our understanding of the Red Planet. Tothis end, our mission takes aim at the Nili-Fossae region, rich in naturalresources (and carbonates in particular), past water repositories and signs ofvolcanic activity. With our proposed experimental payloads, we intend toexplore existing lava-tubes, search for signs of past life and assess theirpotentially valuable geological features for future base building. We willevaluate biomatter in the form of plants and fungi as possible food andbase-building materials respectively. Finally, we seek to explore a variety ofnovel power generation techniques using the Martian atmosphere and gravity. Asdetailed throughout the remainder of this chapter, this assemblage ofexperimental payloads, then, constitutes the backbone of our proposedtelerobotic mission to Mars.
