For the near and medium future, any Mars exploration program will remain publicly funded. Therefore, the efficient use of taxpayer's money drives the overall long-term budget available for such a program as well as the cost envelope for each individual mission. Launches of commercial payloads to GTO offer launch opportunities at moderate costs for small piggyback payloads. Based on the corresponding capabilities of the ARIANE 5 launcher, a typical mission will be detailed, the general potential and constraints of such small missions to Mars will be described, and, finally, further applications will be indicated.
