The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/moontomarsarchitecture\">2023 Architecture Concept Review<\/a> refined the existing architecture and strategies for the first crewed missions to Mars, including identifying seven key decisions in development that need to be made early in the process of establishing a plan to send astronauts to the Red Planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur new documents reflect the progress we\u2019ve made to define a clear approach to exploration and lay out how we\u2019ll incorporate new elements as technologies and capabilities in the U.S. and abroad mature,\u201d said Catherine Koerner, associate administrator, Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. \u201cThis process is ensuring that everything we are doing as an agency and together with our partners is focused on achieving our overarching exploration goals for the benefit of all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newly released documents include the 2023 Architecture Definition Document, a detailed, technical look at NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars architecture approach and process; an executive overview; and 13 white papers about frequently raised topics on NASA\u2019s exploration path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the last year we\u2019ve been able to refine our process for Moon to Mars architecture concept development to unify the agency,\u201d said Nujoud Merancy, deputy associate administrator for strategy and architecture, NASA\u2019s Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate. \u201cOur process in the coming months will focus on addressing gaps in the architecture and further reviewing the decisions the agency needs to make to successfully mount crewed Mars missions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2023, NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-shares-first-moon-to-mars-architecture-concept-review-results\/\">shared<\/a> the inaugural Architecture Definition Document with detailed information about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nasa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/atoms\/files\/m2m-objectives-exec-summary.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars Objectives<\/a>, which serve as guideposts for exploration, map to specific architecture elements. The agency hosted workshops to obtain feedback and held an internal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/general\/nasa-conducts-annual-moon-to-mars-architecture-concept-review\/\">concept review<\/a> late in the year, during which leaders from across NASA came together to discuss architecture needs and refinements. NASA will continue this cadence going forward, refining the architecture each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/artemis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Artemis<\/a> campaign, the agency will establish the foundation for long-term scientific exploration at the Moon, land the first woman, first person of color, and its first international partner astronaut on the lunar surface, and prepare for human expeditions to Mars for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars architecture documents at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
