Assessment of Efficiency, Impact Factor, Impact of Probe Mass, Probe Life Expectancy, and Reliability of Mars Missions

Abstract: Mars is the next frontier after Moon for space explorers to demonstrate the extent of human expedition and technology beyond low-earth orbit. Government space agencies as well as private space sectors are extensively endeavouring for a better space enterprise. Focusing on the inspiration to reach Mars by robotic satellite, we have interpreted some of the significant mission parameters like proportionality of mission attempts, efficiency and reliability of Mars probes, Impact and Impact Factor of mass on mission duration, Time lag between consecutive mission attempts, interpretation of probe life and transitional region employing various mathematical analysis. And we have discussed the importance of these parameters for a prospective mission accomplishment. Our novelty in this paper is we have found a deep relation describing that the probe mass adversely affects the mission duration. Applying this relation, we also interpreted the duration of probe life expectancy for upcoming missions.
