MIT & RMIT RASC-AL 2025 - MAPS
The Mars Advanced Precursor Systems program, MAPS, is an ambitious multi-decadal program designed in alignment with the 2025 NASA RASC-AL competition prompt "Advanced Science Missions and Technology Demonstrators for Human-Mars Precursor Campaign." By preparing the site in advance, MAPS empowers astronauts to maximize their surface stay. MAPS shall survey the mission site for human habitability, establish a communications and science network, prepare the mission site with roads and landing pads, construct a habitat, and produce enough fuel to return a crew safely home to Earth, all whilst demonstrating and advancing the use of key space exploration technologies. By investing in the fundamental science, technology and infrastructure outlined in the MAPS program architecture, humans can be ready to land on Mars in the 2040s. MAPS represents the first collaboration between the AeroAstro department at MIT and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
