Based on a recent Johnson Space Center (JSC) based study of possible vehicles for future Mars and lunar exploration missions, a NASA artist created this multi-angle look at a lander vehicle. The hardware depicted is conceptual only and is not currently budgeted. Note: NASA currently has no formal plans for a human expedition to Mars or the Moon. This image and others displayed may not reflect the hardware and overall concept of possible visits to either of those celestial bodies. However, the art work represented here serves as a comprehensive study of various concepts and ideas developed as possibilities over a period of years.
