Announcement of Opportunity – Canadian Space Agency Concept Studies for Science Instruments for Mars

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is actively pursuing opportunities to
collaborate with international partners in the exploration of Mars. As all
Mars missions are planned to carry scientific payloads and given that
science is the main driver for Mars exploration, the strength of Canadian
participation in future Mars exploration missions must be based on strong
scientific objectives with competent teams that support these scientific
objectives and possess the necessary excellence.

As the international Mars exploration community prepares for the continued
exploration of Mars, the CSA wishes to encourage the Canadian science
community to develop a set of competitive science instruments that are ready
to be proposed on future missions to Mars. The objective of this
announcement of opportunity (AO) is to begin to develop this inventory of
candidate payloads for future missions.
