A NASA review board raised concerns around the Mars Sample Return mission’s budget, scheduling and organization.
underscoring important scientific objectives of the mission but also pointed out potential budgetary issues, among other concerns. Having examined the mission for two months, the review board's report specifically included 20 observations and 59 suggestions regarding the proposed mission.,"MSR is a deep-space exploration priority for NASA, in collaboration with ESA. However, MSR was established with unrealistic budget and schedule expectations from the beginning.
Among the report's recommendations, the topline suggestion is for NASA to better communicate the mission’s importance to the public, as well as reassess the mission's management structure to reduce overhead. "Mars Sample Return is a very complex program and campaign with multiple parallel developments, interfaces, and complexities," said Orlando Figueroa, the chair of the independent review board that examined the mission plan."The development of this historic effort follows many decades of strategic investment."
The review board was created by NASA in May 2023 to examine the mission's technical, financial and scheduling plans before the mission design can be approved. The board engaged a diverse pool of industry and scientific experts both from within NASA itself and outside the agency to evaluate various aspects of the project.
