Final Report of the International Mars Ice Mapper Reconnaissance/Science Measurement Definition TeamThe International Mars Ice Mapper (I-MIM) mission concept was developed by a multilateral team comprising space agencies from five countries: Canada, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States. The primary goal of I-MIM is to map and characterize accessible, near-surface (within the uppermost 10 m) water ice and its overburden in mid-to-low latitudes to support planning for the first potential human surface missions to Mars. To refine the mission concept and to define measurements with a set of prescribed tasks, the I-MIM partner Agencies assembled a Reconnaissance/Science “Measurement Definition Team” (MDT). This report is the result of the work of the I-MIM MDT.
