Update to the Robotic Mars Exploration Strategy 2007-2016 (MAPG) (http://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/reports/MAPG_2006_Update_Final-1.pdf)

http://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/reports/sag.html (Astrobiology, Volume 6, Number 5, 2006). Non-subscribers might also note that the publishers of Astrobiology are, for the time being, granting http://www.liebertonline.com/toc/ast/6/5 to that entire issue, which contains a couple of other interesting items.

Great links. I think it's a measure of the sophistication of this site that it has a librarian!!
Thanks for taking on the responsibility. I really appreciate your efforts.

I believe it was Shakespeare who wrote, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." For me, it was the third option (http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2328&view=findpost&p=43575).

There's a newly posted MEPAG report:

Report from the 2013 Mars Science Orbiter (MSO) Second Science Analysis Group (May 2007) (http://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/reports/MSO_SAG2_Report_MEPAG_29may.pdf)

Fascinating report, Alex.

While they don't come out and say it, it seems clear to me that they favor a geology and geophysics orbiter with a small landed package for 2013.

Nice to see a lot of support for an imaging SAR for the 2013 orbiter, even if it's only for an enhanced version of the spacecraft. I know I'm not the only one who would like to see that instrument flown.
