A Mars Ascent Vehicle for Potential Mars Sample Return
This paper will cover the conceptual design of a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) and efforts underway to raise the TRL at both the component and system levels. A system down select was executed resulting in a Hybrid Propulsion based Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) MAV baseline architecture. This paper covers the Point of Departure design, as well as results of hardware developments that will be tested in several upcoming flight opportunities.
