Roving for Rocks on the Red Planet: The Mars Pathfinder Mission
Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. It it the first planet humans will visit and the only planet that can support life in the future, with abundant water and the potential for terraforming it to make it more clement...As a result, an exploration program to the Red Planet will allow the investigation of a wide variety of importatn geological, climatological and exobiolgical topics, but can also address in a scientific manner the almost theological question of, Are we alone in the universe?
Battery Definition for the Mars Environmental Survey Mission (MESUR) Pathfinder
Silver-zinc (Ag-Zn) battery technology has been baselined as the energy storage system for the MESUR mission. The mission profile will require the operation of this battery in a manner not usually seen for this technology. In particular, the combination of storage time followed by multiple cycles as a function of fluctuating temperatures and charge/discharge rates, and limited available time for charging has not been previously demonstrated.
The Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) Network and Pathfinder Missions
The objective of the Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) Network mission is to establish a global network of small science stations on the surface of Mars to operate concurrently over a minimum of one martian year.

Mesur Pathfinder: Steps Toward U.S. Return To The Surface Of Mars
The Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) project has been established to deliver and emplace a network of small landers on Mars. A key requisite for this mission is the development of a low cost, simple, robust delivery system for payloads to the Martian surface.
Mars Pathfinder Active Heat Rejection System: Successful Flight Demonstration of a Mechanically Pumped Cooling Loop
This is the first time in unmanned spacecraft history that an active heat rejection system of this type has been used on a long duration spacecraft mission.
Lunar Resources Catalog (LRC): Viper Pathfinder Dataset
Introduction: A new era in lunar exploration has recently begun. Through NASA’s robotic Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, international and the human Artemis programs, multiple assets are being deployed to explore the Moon and at a rapid cadence. There will be a huge expanse in lunar surface exploration with mobility (e.g., rovers). Several missions are focused on collecting data for assessing lunar resources for potential In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). With this expansion in exploration there will be a commensurate expansion in the volume and variety of data. Work has begun on establishing a measurement plan (i.e., what data is needed) for ISRU [1] but how to integrate these data into the broader Planetary Data Ecosystem (PDE) following FAIR (i.e., Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) data practices has not been addressed. The VIPER team intends to engage this challenge.
