Scientific paper

The design of spacecraft to accomplish the objectives of planetary exploration during the next decade is considered, with emphasis on development of Viking, Mariner, and Pioneer types. Projects include development of a Mars lander/rover, Phobos/Deimos lander, and the design of a Venus buoyant station. The use of 'gravity assistance' to reduce propulsion expenditure in the investigation of Jupiter is described. The development of space storable propellants for outer planet missions is discussed with attention given to the technology of fluoride/hydrazine and fluoride/liquid oxygen systems, and the possible use of solar-electric propulsion in cometary and asteroidal missions is considered.
