The total mission duration since the launch of the first element is 7.2 years, of which only 2.6<br />

correspond to the trip to Mars and back. From the 1541 tonnes that will be launched, only 1355<br />

will depart to Mars, the rest being supporting structures, workbenches and tools for the assembly,<br />

and propellant boiled off. 89% of the mission mass corresponds to propulsion systems.<br />

2.7.11 Surface opportunities<br />

The mission architecture takes into account the periods of time during which it is possible to<br />

carry out an excursion to the Martian surface. A surface opportunity is considered to be any<br />

period of 40 days that does not coincide with:
