IPSE, Italian Package for Scientific Experiments, is an autonomous micro-laboratory for Martian soil and environment parameter analysis. The leading concept is to implement a modularity philosophy in the design of the main subsystems, in order to allow the maximum level of de-coupling between IPSE and the experiments, being able to support very different types of payload and suit each launch opportunity.

Abstract

IPSE, Italian Package for Scientific Experiments, is an autonomous micro-laboratory for Martian soil and environment parameter analysis. The leading concept is to implement a modularity philosophy in the design of the main subsystems, in order to allow the maximum level of de-coupling between IPSE and the experiments, being able to support very different types of payload and suit each launch opportunity. This paper will provide an overview of a possible design of IPSE. The current design is based on an accommodation opportunity formerly hypothesised on NASA Mars Sample Return Mission, scheduled for 2003 and now being reconsidered. A future opportunity is under consideration.
