They should start with Aerostats (Mini-Blimps and Balloons). The raise into the atmosphere when the Sun is up, and land on the regolith when the Sun goes down. Just cameras, probe arms and detectors, with telemetry uplinks to satellites. Super cheap - so much so that 20,000 of them could be in place with just one mission to Mars. Gyro-copters are very expensive, complex.

Why can't those core samples just be stored in the explorer until the retrieval vehicle comes? Wouldn't that make it a lot easier to find the samples? They would be much less likely to be buried in a dust storm or damaged by a meteor near miss. I've never heard the logic behind doing it this way, dropping them in random places to be picked up in several or many years. They are tiny and the rover is the size of a VW!

[@youandme4ever46]

Just a thought. Take a copter over one of the rovers to see if they can blow off the dirt from the solar panels. Also, they want to go deeper into the soil on Mars. Perhaps creating an impact of their own, then send in the core sampler after impact. It probably wouldn't need to be very deep...just deep enough.

[@jamesdelrogers542]

If they could develop a kinetic penetrator Something that takes a core sample as it penetrates With Leaver bars at the end of the shaft t That would effectively use the impact to then recoil eject an in capsulated sample core Maybe with something so it can be tracked And then retrieved by the helicopter There's not much in the atmosphere for it to burn up on Reentry It would be an easy way to collect a lot of samples , Depending on how you design the penetrators You should be able to go down to depths as much as 40 feet Assuming you don't hit any rock

Hence there could already be an Earth destroying meteor on its way within 100 years. We also currently do not have the technology to deflect such an object despite what Hollywood might suggest. If it wasn’t for SpaceX we would still be relying on Soyez. NASA have had zero intention of progressing our space fairing technology. If left to government we would still be using Soyez in 2100.

Contrary to near-universal belief: the atmospheric pressure in some of the deeper areas, like bottom of Valles Marineris and Hellas Basin is sufficient to support liquid water ON THE SURFACE between 0 and 10 Celcius (up to 50 degrees F). NASA/JPL and MSSS don't like to talk about it, but we already have pictures of EXTANT liquid water on the surface in ponds, lakes, and possibly a few streams. That's there now, not millions of years ago and then dried up. All good wishes.

I have mentioned to Elon that the infrastructure of Tesla has to be increased by starting a Tesla Texas rental. This will allow more people the opportunity to drive a Tesla for a week or a month allowing them to be the next on the list for a lease or purchase, if so inclined. Also small businesses have to come before the multiple fleet sales by corporations, this allows more distribution of product amongst the population again offering more free word of mouth advertising. So orders under 10 come before orders over 10 or 100 this prevents someone like Herts rental to get all their Tesla's before the starter businesses do. Until production of the Tesla Semi can reach more than 4000 trucks a week I think it is important to keep the fleet sales at 100 trucks or less. If they can Mass produce more than that I would be one of the first to help them with their commercial fleet sales but I also believe in being able to help the smaller businesses get there trucks at the same time and not have to wait in behind for larger orders.

Mars Sample Return. Funding is ramping up from about $250 million to about $650 million for NASA’s contribution to MSR, an international mission to retrieve samples currently being cached by the Mars Perseverance rover, and the administration is seeking $822 million for next year. NASA notes the mission’s total lifecycle cost is expected to increase substantially as it moves to a two-lander architecture for conveying the mission’s rover and an ascent vehicle to the surface of Mars. The agency recently concluded that a single lander capable of carrying both vehicles would depart too far from proven designs. The landers are expected to launch in 2028, two years later than when the single lander was supposed to launch, with the aim of returning samples to Earth in 2033. With this kind of budget increase, it is highly likely many high tech drones would be deployed on arrival to survey all targeted areas previously analysed and mapped, which are most likely to have had life. Exact details on how deeper core samples beyond surface radiation/sterilisation depths will be drilled with a two-lander architecture, appears to be protected information.
