The interest of having in the near future an available Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) service supporting future missions to and at the Moon is currently supported by both institutional and commercial initiatives. On the commercial side, multiple companies are developing business solutions targeting the Moon and several major European companies are proposing to team up to build a communications network on the Moon compatible to terrestrial standards. In parallel, NASA has recently announced its plans to a ?Return to the moon?

The various players in the space sector activities (equipment manufacturers, operators, and space agencies) believe that the future belongs to industrial components. Industrial components (such as Automotive-quality and commercial-quality components) have already been selected and used for launcher-type or short duration satellite missions. Metallographic cross sections made on plastic packages industrial components, in the frame of these programs, revealed delamination between the chip and the encapsulation resin.

The focus of this study was the system-level assessment of potential small mission architectures that could operate at Mars in the 2030s, after or potentially in parallel with MSR mission.
In particular two cases were evaluated:
- Mission 1: Mars Communications Constellation (MCC), for supporting assets on the surface and providing science
- Mission 2: Mars Science Orbiter (MSO), a science-driven mission, remote sensing
