[102] Nitrate abundance ranges from non-detection to 681 ± 304 mg/kg in the samples examined until late 2017. [102]
Shorter Mars mission plans have round-trip flight times of 400 to 450 days, [11] or under 15 months for an opposition-class expedition, but would require significantly higher energy. A fast Mars mission of 245 days (8.0 months) round trip could be possible with on-orbit staging. [12]

Space probes have been establishing and mediating human presence interplanetarily since their first visits to Venus. Mars has seen a continuous presence since 1997, [55] after being first flown by in 1964 and landed on in 1971. A group of missions have been present on Mars since 2001, including continuous presence by a series of rovers since 2003.
