Scientific paper

In the U.S. program for the exploration of the solar system, the Pioneer spacecraft are used for initial studies of the planets and the planetary and interplanetary environment. The Mariners have been employed for planet-oriented flyby missions followed by more detailed planet investigations with orbiting missions. The Viking lander is designed for surface exploration of the planet Mars. The various planetary missions conducted so far or planned for the next few years are discussed in some detail, giving attention also to the design of the spacecraft employed.
