Lockheed Martin has proposed a streamlined, lower-cost alternative that could slash the Mars Sample Return mission's cost tag by more than half .
The company claims that it can use its experience with previous planetary exploration missions to complete the mission for less than $3 billion on a fixed-price contract.
The idea is to replace the current spacecraft with simpler, streamlined, and lighter versions derived from Lockheed Martin 's experience.
