Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars

The Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars (SCIM) is a mission concept for a Mars air and dust sample return. It was a semi-finalist at the Mars Scout Program along with four other missions in December 2002. [2] [3] The SCIM mission would be designed to skim through the Mars atmosphere without landing or entering orbit. [1] It would collect samples in an aerogel and take them back to Earth on a free-return trajectory. [4]

Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars (SCIM) was a concept proposed in 2008 for a relatively low-cost, low-risk Mars sample return studied in the former Mars Scout Program . [1] SCIM returns dust and air samples without landing or orbiting, [1] by passing through the atmosphere as it collects samples. [2] The design utilizes heritage from the successful Stardust and Genesis sample return missions. [2] SCIM was studied by the Mars Scout Program, [1] and it achieved finalist status in a mission selection before that program ended. [3] The Mars Scout program includes Phoenix lander and MAVEN .
