Introduction

Two problems offered in this mock MCM deal with different stages of exploration project on Planet Ares (in a galaxy far, far way). Needless to say, similar problems could be posed within our planetary system, but would probably be less fun

Please remember that your entire manuscript should not exceed 10 pages (no such restriction for the real contest). A simple, concise, well-explained model will be much preferred to a morerealistic but incomprehensible or computationally intractable. If a problem in its entirety seems too hard to handle, you should concentrate on some aspect or restricted version of it that can be dealt with in the allotted time.
