Description:
For the purpose of the following discussion, we assume that of the six crew members sent to Mars, at least three will be scientists. We further assume that geological and biological investigations will proceed together (although investigative techniques may vary), both for vestiges of ancient life, and for evidence of living organisms. Finally, unexpected discoveries may cause sudden changes in exploration strategies, and mission planning should be flexible enough to accommodate such shifts.
