Mars Astrobiological Cave and Internal habitability Explorer (MACIE): A New Frontiers Mission Concept
Published 11 May 2021 in astro-ph.IM and astro-ph.EP | (2105.05281v1)
Abstract: Martian subsurface habitability and astrobiology can be evaluated via a lava tube cave, without drilling. MACIE addresses two key goals of the Decadal Survey (2013-2022) and three MEPAG goals. New advances in robotic architectures, autonomous navigation, target sample selection, and analysis will enable MACIE to explore the Martian subsurface.
