Article over at Science. In a nutshell, the plan is for a series of rover, lander/launcher, and orbiter missions throughout the 2020's (all unmanned of course) to bring soil and rock particle samples back to Earth in 2031. While I'm glad to see that we're getting on with this, there are a lot of moving parts to the plan and it's going to take every bit of expertise we've built up over the last 45 years of Mars missions to pull it off. Anyway, the article's a short and informative read.
