M-MATISSE mission using robot orbiters could map Mars space weather before human landing

If we're to land humans on Mars in the coming decades, we'll have to know what challenges await them when they get there.

The Mars mission that could prep for a human landing

If we are to land humans on Mars in the coming decades, we’ll have to know what challenges await them when they get there. Enter M-MATISSE, a potential precursor to a crewed mission to the Red Planet which could use UK instrumentation being promoted at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting 2025 in Durham to revolutionise our understanding of space weather on Mars. It would involve sending two robot orbiters to the fourth pl…
