Risks from Decreasing Ground Support

This chart set describes data and analysis underlying the risk of reduced ground support for long duration, deep space missions, starting with Lunar surface stays and progressing to a crewed mission to Mars. The functional impacts for different comm delay regimes are described, along with a specific and generalized anomaly scenario to demonstrate the impact of reduced ground support to onboard operations.
