Austere Human Missions to Mars is a concept for a human mission to Mars by the United States space agency, NASA.[1] Released in 2009, it proposed a modified and even less costly version of Design Reference Architecture (DRA) 5.0, itself a combination of nearly 20 years of Mars planning design work.[1] The mission profile was for a conjunction class with a long surface stay, pre-deployed cargo, aerocapture and propulsive capture, and some in-situ resource production.[1] As of 2015, the concept had not yet been adapted to the Space Launch System that replaced NASA's Constellation program in 2011.
