Scientific paper

New flight techniques and launch systems will provide about 4 times the current capabilities for future mission planning. Utilization of this high performance can include conservative design to reduce costs and improve reliability. In addition, new mission options of high science value will become possible. For example, mass allocations to science experiments could be increased by an order of magnitude for purposes such as multiple atmospheric probes and sub-satellites. A long-life station of over 2500 kg mass could be placed in Jupiter orbit. The Saturn moon Titan could be explored with a Viking-class soft lander. This paper presents the principles, performance capabilities and operational characteristics of the new flight techniques and discusses the foregoing and other mission options, with emphasis on advanced exploration of Jupiter and Saturn.
