Included in the paper are both the themes resulting from the industry studies and the general scope of the focused concepts used to assess the current planning for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission and precursor missions. Included in this conference are papers by the four industrial teams, as well as a fifth study by JPL's Team-X to provide further corroboration of study results. The results suggest that a scientifically justifiable mission is possible, and that technology and precursor mission demonstration plans currently in the Mars Program are justified (with some modifications).
