Summary of the final report from the Ice and Climate Evolution Science Analysis group (ICE-SAG)
The Ice and Climate Evolution Science Analysis Group (ICE-SAG) was convened by the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) in fall 2018, with the aims of (1) identifying and prioritizing fundamental science questions related to the recent and ongoing evolution of Mars volatiles and climate, and (2) exploring new mission approaches that could address these high-priority science questions during the coming decade (2023–2032). In this white paper, we summarize the ICE-SAG final report via a selection of report materials and provide broad context for the content of this MEPAG-generated report (which is likely a reference mentioned within a number of other, community-based white papers).
