Mars 2020 Project-7
New Rover Elements for Science JetPropulsionLaboratory

Mars2020Project
Rover would carry a suite of newly selected/competed science

instruments and technology experiments to support mission goals.
NASA Announcement of Opportunity released September 24, with
selection expected in Spring 2014

Mars 2020 Project-8
Surface Sampling System Concept JetPropulsionLaboratory
Mars2020Project
Notional Sample Collection &

Caching Steps
1. Arm would move coring drill to bit Spare
box and loads bit sample
2. Arm would dock new bit at sample tubes
caching system, swing arm would Sealing
load empty sample tube into drill bit station
3. Arm would move coring drill to
target rock
4. Coring drill would be activated, rock
core collected into sample tube Sample
5. Arm would dock filled sample tube tubes
to caching system
6. Swing arm would seal sample tube
with plug at sealing station and Plugs
loads into cache canister
7. Process would repeat until cache is
filled Cache
8. Cache would be removed through Canister
rover top deck by robotic arm (either
Mars 2020 mission or possible Swing Arm
future mission) OR potentially
ejected directly to surface through
bottom of sample caching system.

Landing Site Selection Process JetPropulsionLaboratory

Mars2020Project
Key Science Definition Team Finding: Consider a wide range of sites

across the equatorial region ( 30 latitude)

Power Source and Thermal Control JetPropulsionLaboratory
Mars2020Project
Baseline power system would use the excess heat from a single Multi-
mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) for electricity
and keeping key rover engineering and scientific equipment at proper
operating
p g temperatures
p
Mars is very challenging thermal environment: the daily temperature can range from -
198F to +122F
Thermal control of hardware internal to the rover chassis would be maintained via a
pumped fluid system, utilizing both MMRTG waste heat and external radiators.
An MMRTG would enable full Mar 2020 MSL Pumped Fluid Loop Thermal
operations capability across the desired Control Illustration
science landing site latitude band.

Solar power design concepts are under study
as alternatives.
