Introduction:
The Mars Space Weather Requirements team will gather requirements for the safety of astronauts and robotic assets necessary for Mars exploration. Requirements are critical to guide the community toward targeted development of space weather instruments and models. The team will explore existing knowledge of hazards and risk conditions for Mars missions, covering all mission phases based on historical data from past and current robotic missions. The team will cover a wide breadth of impacts on various systems (communication, power delivery, electronics) that can occur on spacecraft, landers, and rovers related to all space weather and atmospheric conditions. Working with the modeling challenge team, this group will use simulations of specific scenarios to understand which environmental parameters are more relevant for certain impacts, in order to provide quantitative estimates.
