Zusammenfassung:Compass Team was tasked by the RPS Project at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to create an independent concept design for a spacecraft (S/C) utilizing low power radioisotope power. A list of candidate missions enabled by milliwatt class radioisotope power was evaluated and thus resulted in the selection of a Mars polar region seismology network of four hard landers. A science rational and science operations plan was developed to establish mission design requirements and S/C subsystem concept designs described herein.
