MARS program

The MARS program access resource file data by means of general functions which allow the program to load the necessary resource file into memory, search for variables, edit variables, and re-save the file to disk. Any number of resource files can be loaded into memory at once. Even quite large resource files are loaded rapidly into memory since the data is packed and no assignments are made at that time. The search and replace functions are also so fast that data access time is never perceptible.

Goldin felt accountable for the Mars failures. He accepted responsibility and appointed a new Mars program director. He said ... 

Goldin takes responsibility for pushing too hard, partiaiiy retreats from FBC and re-emphasizes safety and reliability. Later on reverses course on hiring and provokes budget crisis to aiert the White House about resource constraints. NASA makes a number of changes in the Mars program. FBC is retained but revised.

MARS is a single program which can acquire data from an instrument or process sensors in real time or background mode, manage the data, analyze the data, and report or plot the data and results. 

The MARS software is adapted and compiled specifically for a given application. The software is organized into modules which can be interchanged as needed for a particular implementation. Most modules comprise a core of management, analysis, reporting, and plotting functions which are used for every implementation. For each application, a data acquisition module is adapted to suit the appropriate instrumentation. In addition, specialized analysis programming is added if required. The acquisition module, the core modules, and the specialized analysis modules, if any, are then linked into a customized application specific version of MARS. 

There are two ways in which data can be analyzed using the MARS system. The first is through use of the general data analysis tools which are part of the standard MARS shell. The second is by means of specialized data analysis programming which can be invoked by the MARS shell.
