telerobotic

That JWST was not designed for any kind of servicing, whether human or telerobotic, is simply because right now it doesn't seem obviously feasible to get people and servicing equipment there, and we haven't made the necessary investment to be able to commit to an optimal human or telerobotic servicing architecture.

Someone else (I believe sc220?) was suggesting some sort of on-orbit/telerobotic mission and I think it should definitely be explored for Mars.

The fact that the human telerobotic approach opens up multiple destinations in the near-term makes it very appealing. kim

Supplementing these missions with sophisticated telerobotic operations would also represent a tremendous boost to space science.

Plus, the telerobotic approach could be used to perform sophisticated demonstrations of the technologies you will need for eventual crewed surface operations (e.g., in-situ resource utilization, heavily automated excavation equipment).

You don't do science telerobotically on the Earth (well, actually we do, for undersea exploration, which is almost all telerobotic these days) because it's so easy to get people just about anywhere.

Crewed missions to Mars orbit and low gravity well destinations, augmented with real-time telerobotic systems, could greatly expand our knowledge of other planets and allow us to demonstrate the technologies and establish the infrastructure needed for eventual long-term settlement.

The frosting on the cake is that there is an enormous commercial pull for such telerobotic technology.

It would also greatly expand scientific return at these destinations by allowing more real time control of robotic elements, and would provide a much easier way of conducting sample return through telerobotic collection, rendezvous and docking.
