2011Strategy: Follow the water, assess habitability, return a sample, prepare for humans.MSLconcept: Mobile laboratory to assess habitability
Explore and quantitatively assess a local region on Mars’ surface as a potentialhabitat for life, past or present.• Assessment of present habitability requires:– An evaluation of the characteristics of the environment and the processesthat influence it from microscopic to regional scales.– A comparison of these characteristics with what is known about thecapacity of life, as we know it, to exist in such environments.• Determination of past habitability has the added requirement of inferringenvironments and processes in the past from observation in the present.• Such assessments require integration of a wide variety of chemical, physical, andgeological measurements and analyses.• These analyses would be accomplished by a diverse set of instruments, asophisticated sampling system, and a rover capable of bringing the payload to arange of sites and supporting it over one Mars year at a carefully chosen landingsite.
