NASA Seeks Input on Moon to Mars Objectives
Published at : May 23, 2022
As NASA moves forward with plans to send astronauts to the Moon under Artemis missions to prepare for human exploration of Mars, the agency is calling on U.S. industry, academia, international communities, and other stakeholders to provide input on its deep space exploration objectives.
NASA released a draft set of high-level objectives Monday, May 17, identifying 50 points falling under four overarching categories of exploration, including transportation and habitation; Moon and Mars infrastructure; operations; and science. Comments are due to the agency by 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 3.
Ultimately, through this cooperative and resilient objectives-focused approach, the agency aims to integrate with partner efforts, reduce the overall costs to the American taxpayer, and better adjust to changes in funding.
A list of the full 50 objectives is available online at: https://cms.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/moon-to-mars-objectives-.pdf
Public comments are being accepted online until June 3 at: https://socialforms.nasa.gov/m2m-objectives
