Global Exploration Roadmap: Advancing Human Missions to Mars

The ISECG Global Exploration Roadmap (GER) is a non-binding framework that enables agency discussions on common goals and objectives, long-range mission scenarios, and coordination and cooperation on preparatory activities for sustainable human missions to Mars. The GER reflects the importance of the ISS as a foundation for exploration and supports individual agency stakeholder engagement.

  1. The ISECG Global Exploration RoadmapStatus update at Target NEO2 WorkshopJuly 9, 2013 NASA/Kathy Laurini Human Exploration & Ops Mission Directorate

  2. Global Exploration Roadmap Introduction • The non-binding GER enables agency discussions on important topics such as • Common goals and objectives • Advancing long-range mission scenarios and architectures which lead to sustainable human missions to Mars • Opportunities for near-term coordination and cooperation on preparatory activities • The GER reflects importance of ISS as foundation for exploration, leading to sustainable human missions to Mars as the common driving goal • Serving as a tool which supports individual agency stakeholder engagement • GER first released in Sept 2011, update end July 2013

  3. Participating Agencies 3 12 space agencies participate in the GER development activity

  4. Common Goals and Objectives • Common goals are needed, but recognized individual agency goals are what is important to an agency • Search for Life • Extend Human Presence • Perform Space, Earth, and Applied Science • Perform Science to Support Human Exploration • Develop Exploration Technologies and Capabilities • Stimulate Economic Expansion • Enhance Earth Safety • Engage the Public in Exploration • GER reflects common goals and supporting objectives • No significant changes since the initial GER release A Sustained Presence - Extending Human Frontiers New Knowledge in Science & Technology A Global Partnership Economic Expansion Inspiration and Education 4

  5. ISS Capability Evolution Leading Towards HumanMars Exploration Critical systems onboard ISS Crew and Cargo Transportation Systems Mission to Visit Redirected Asteroid To be supplied Surface Cargo Delivery Russian Piloted System NASA’s SLS and Orion Advanced Electric Propulsion Evolvable Deep Space Habitat Lunar Lander Cargo Delivery Extended Duration Crew Missions Human Lunar Surface Missions

  6. GER Mission Scenarios • Purpose of the Mission Scenarios • Serve as an optional design reference for agencies to inform decisions on preparatory activities • Conceptual missions that are considered technically feasible and programmatically implementable Asteroid Next, Moon Next evolve to single scenario

  7. Near-Term Opportunities for Coordination and Cooperation • Significant resources are being expended around the world to prepare for human space exploration • Agencies seek opportunities to leverage these investments through knowledge of partner priorities and partnerships: coordination and cooperation • The Global Exploration Roadmap framework facilitates achieving alignment with emerging global consensus on exploration scenarios • Six opportunity areas have been identified • Use of ISS for Exploration • Space Systems and Infrastructure Development • Robotic Precursor Missions • Advanced Technologies • Analog Activities • Human Health and Performance Risk Mitigation 7

  8. Conclusion • The updated GER intended to serve as a tool to help agencies collaboratively advance plans for future human space exploration missions and partnerships • The first iteration of the GER was discussed with the broader community in individual or coordinated engagement activities • Community engagement opportunities also planned for GER2 • E.g., NASA Community Workshop on the GER (target Oct 2013-TBC) 8
