Precursor Measurements for Manned Mission to Mars

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=16934

This article outlines the key precursor measurements that must be taken in order to lower the risk of a manned mission to Mars. Among these measurements are the broader topics such as atmospheric dynamics and potential sources of water as well as more specified topics such as the toxic effect of Martian Dust on Humans and traction in Martian soil. Also included in this assessment were some of the inherent costs associated with the expedition.
