>Mars Network Workshop 2004
>June 17, 2004
>8 AM - 5 PM
>California Institute of Technology

>Workshop Objectives:
>The tremendous success of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers has clearly 
>demonstrated the value of relay telecommunications for increasing the 
>aggregate science return and overall robustness of in situ Mars exploration.
>This workshop, co-sponsored by the Mars Network Office and DESCANSO, will 
>begin by looking back over the recent experiences of UHF relay support to 
>the Mars Exploration Rovers, highlighting what worked well and identifying 
>areas of potential improvement for the future.  Next, we will survey relay 
>concepts of future Mars missions planned for this decade and into the 
>next. Finally, we will examine emerging technologies, protocols, and 
>networking concepts that have the potential to shape the future evolution 
>of the Mars relay infrastructure.
>
>By bringing together the operations, implementation, and research 
>communities, this workshop aims to ensure that our future missions and 
>long-term architecture are fully informed by the lessons-learned from MER, 
>and that our near-term developments reflect longer-term emerging concepts 
>and technologies.
