characteristics are listed in Table 2-2. The following assumptions apply for the data in the table:<br />

• All cited manoeuvres are impulsive<br />

• The maximum TMI, MOI and TEI values are provided for every launch opportunity. This<br />

maximum MOI includes only the orbit insertion. The column “Total ∆v” cites the<br />

2.5.1 Planetary protection<br />

Robotic precursor missions have to verify that life is at least not widespread on Mars. As such, it<br />

has to be shown that life is not part of the global dust-cycle. However, even if life is not<br />

widespread on Mars, planetary protection regulations for forward and backward contamination<br />

have to be applied because astronauts will investigate sites of potential extant or extinct<br />

biological activity.<br />

A human mission to Mars will contaminate the planet to a certain extent. This forward<br />

contamination can be minimised by using appropriate procedures. The philosophy for backward<br />

contamination is to break the chain between Mars and Earth. Any contamination of the habitat<br />

has to be avoided as this contamination would be transferred to the crew, and hence the Earth.<br />

Strict isolation of the crew upon return is not practicable and would be difficult to implement.<br />
