This paper summarizes the EMPIRE studies undertaken by the NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center and its Aeronutronic and General Dynamics/Astronautics contractors in the early 1960s. Among topics addressed are duel-planet (Mars and Venus) trajectory studies and mission requirement, guidance and navigation, space vehicle configuration, propulsion, crew and environmental considerations, science payloads, scheduling, and funding. Units employed in the source literature are cited throughout. Studies undertaken by the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company will be reviewed in Part II.
