Mars 2020 Surface Mission Performance Analysis: Part 1. Science Exploration and Sol Type Modeling

摘要

We developed a scenario-based mission performance model for the Mars 2020 Rover to help identify project-wide productivity and operability challenges and opportunities. We have modeled science exploration combining high-fidelity resource modeling, science strategies, and modular science activity scenarios. This is proving to be an effective way of incorporating science activities into an engineering-based performance model.
