Under a study contract, ASI developed the mechanical system concept for a Mars Microspacecraft to launch in a twin configuration on an Ariane V ASAP (Auxiliary Payload). As a member a multi-disciplined team, ASI developed in 4 weeks the mechanical configuration and preliminary structure design for the spacecraft in two configurations: a probe carrier and an orbiter.
