Mars sample-return mission

A Mars sample-return mission ( MSR ) would be a spaceflight mission to collect rock and dust samples on Mars and then return them to Earth . Sample-return would be a very powerful type of exploration, because analysis is freed from the time, budget, and space constraints of spacecraft sensors. [1] Any of Earth's laboratories could study a sample. [1]

The Mars Sample Return Mission is a joint project between NASA and ESA to collect rock and dust samples from Mars and to return them to Earth for analysis. It will be the first mission to collect rock samples from another planet . However, samples have been returned from comets as well as the Moon . It is to be launched either during the mid 2010s or the early 2020s.
