The Past is Prologue to the Future When It Comes to the Next Decade of Mars Exploration, SpaceRef
“Past missions, and in some case the spare parts of past missions, will help drive the next decade of Mars exploration, a panel of experts from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the University of California at Berkeley, told an audience yesterday at the AIAA SPACE 2014 Forum in San Diego.”

    So, it’s going to be the same old, same old. Why are we not moving on from this to developing the capability to do a human Mars mission or better yet, outpost?
    All they’re doing is ‘refining’ and looking at more samples. Not even a sample-return mission fgs.
    This just looks like another make-do mission in the absence of sufficient funding for something that will contribute to a real roadmap to Mars for humans.
    But since it’s just science, perhaps that’s enough for some.
    Cheers.
