## Mars Technology Program (MTP)(http://marstech.jpl.nasa.gov)

*Mars Exploration Program (MEP) is a science driven program that launches missions to Mars every 26 months*
*MTP is an integral part of  MEP*
*MTP develops technologies for near-term and future missions*
*Near-term missions are supported by MTP via ****Focused Technology Program***
*Technologies for future missions are developed via the ****Base Technology Program**** *
*Exploration Strategy is outlined in ****Mars Exploration Strategy**** Document by Dr. Dan McCleese in: *
*http://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/reports/index.html*

## MTPBase Technology Program

***Base Technology Program consists of the following elements:***
*Rover Technology*
*Subsurface Access*_* *_
*Planetary Protection*
*Telecom/Navigation*
*Advanced EDL*
*Low-Cost Mission Technologies*
*Mars Science Instruments Program (MIDP)*
***MIDP has already been announced (27 tasks in progress)***
***The scope of this NRA (03-OSS-01) includes all Base Technology elements except MIDP ******(60 proposals are selected!)***
