Summary
Mars has attracted study ever since its motions were first apparent to ancient skywatchers. Summaries of early observations and ideas are listed in, e.g., Collins, 1971; Hartmann and Raper, 1974; Moore, 1977; Kieffer et al., 1992a; Martin et al., 1992; Sheehan, 1996; Morton, 2002. Hubbard (2011) gives an interesting example of the planning of Mars missions.
