Crewed Mars Mission on Philip Bono's Mars Glider

In the year 1960, Philip Bono, a highly specialized Space Vehicle Design Specialist affiliated with the Boeing Airplane Company, formulated a conceptualization of a pioneering manned spacecraft intended for Mars. The outward visage of this spacecraft was fashioned in a manner which exhibited similarities to the X-20A Dyna-Soar single-seat orbital glider concurrently under development at his organization on behalf of the United States Air Force. However, Bono's cerebral rendition of the Mars glider embodied noteworthy dimensional dissimilarities when compared to the Dyna-Soar -- namely, it was of an enormity that was capable of accommodating an eight-man "expeditionary force," and nearly 40 tons of supplies and equipment. The prodigious Mars glider boasted a flat-bellied physique that spanned a monumental 125 feet in length, and an impressive 95 feet across its delta wings.
The Mars glider, once fully assembled and loaded with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, stood at a towering height of 248 feet, weighing in at an impressive 4150 tons. This colossal spacecraft was encompassed by six elongated outboard booster rockets, designed to enshroud and conceal the short booster, living module/rocket stage, and the majority of the aft portion of the glider.
Bono's original vision of the Mars glider was equipped with scientific instruments that would enable it to scrutinize the Red Planet's surface and atmosphere. This glider would harness the power of its wings to generate lift, and it would have been controlled remotely from the mother ship. The spacecraft would have been launched from a mother ship which was stationed in orbit around Mars.
Even though the Mars Glider concept never came to complete fruition nor was it ever launched, it nevertheless played a consequential role in the technological advancements of other Mars exploration technologies. Additionally, this epoch-making conceptualization inspired a plethora of forthcoming space exploration concepts.

😍Beautiful work, as always! I never previously knew about this concept. Since it wasn't until July 14-15, 1965, when Mariner 4 completed its flyby reconnaissance of Mars, that we discovered that Mars has 1-100th of the atmospheric density of Earth, Mr. Bono can be forgiven for selecting a glider configuration for his crewed Mars lander. (Earlier crewed Mars mission architectures made the same assumptions - notably Wernher von Braun's "Marsprojekt", and the lifting-body design of Aeronutronic, a defense related division of Ford Aerospace).

There's a distinct change in the concepts from before and after. I think the first detailed concept after was the North American Rockwell one, and most follow a similar theme from there on. Earlier ones all use a lot more aero.

Extra credit for showing the craft pointed backwards during Orbital Insertion. So many movies and videos show spacecraft still pointing forwards with thrusters on - as if they wanted to crash into the planet.

Gorgeous use of actual Mars renderings and images. The view during descent over Tharsis was very Kubrick-style. I recognize the landing site; it appears to be Curiosity's home, Gale Crater, as the backdrop of Mt. Sharp is my computer desktop background. Phil Bono would be proud of this.

Not to nitpick, but there are some minor errors: - the stage separates from the glider before it enters Mars orbit, so that the glider does a direct entry - the orange tank around it is supposed to be discarded before heading to Earth, as it is empty by that point. - as the nose of the glider contains a reactor, it is supposed to be dismounted during the surface operations. - before liftoff from Mars, the rear of the glider is supposed to be anchored via cables Otherwise, great job on this rarely-known concept!

I’m impressed by how well everything is thought out. Atmosphere too thin to slow down enough? Pop a chute to get the drag you need! No runway? No problem, just land vertically! Don’t want to drag the now dead weight of empty fuel tanks and useless engines? Just cut the glider in half!

What was the point of the Glider? It does not need to glide at all! Why glide? You are landing vertically, you are taking off with almost as much thrust required for vertical t.o. And to land, you can't do it without the chute, cause atmosphere is too thin! Why glide?
