Scientific paper

The two Mars missions which have been planned include NASA's Mars Observer and the Soviet Phobos project. Phobos, which is to use the new-generation Venera spacecraft, is scheduled to be launched on July 15, 1988. It is expected to arrive in Mars orbit during January 1989. NASA's Mars Observer is the first of the Planetary Observer series. The series will employ modified existing earth-orbiting satellites for inner solar system missions. Mars Observer will not be launched until August/September 1990. This mission will possibly be followed by the launch of the Mars Aeronomy Orbiter (MAO) in 1993/4. It is pointed out that, unless the Soviets undertake a manned Mars expedition before the turn of the century, the next logical step would be an unmanned sample return mission. The results of studies of such a mission are discussed, taking into account the conduction of such an enterprise in the time period from 1996 to 2005.
