Abstract

MarsExplore is an innovative gravity mission with the objective of mapping the static and dynamic gravity fields of Mars. It incorporated novel quantum sensing payload instruments in order to perform gravitational measurements to an unprecedented level of accuracy. This Final Report involves the final design of MarsExplore, where Group 10 dives into a detailed design of the mission.
