Scientific paper

Progress on the space exploration of solar system objects is discussed. Terrestrial planets have been extensively studied for twenty years using orbiters and descent probes which allowed in situ measurements of their atmospheres (Mariner, Viking, Venera spacecrafts). The atmospheres of the giant planets and their satellites have been investigated by fly-by missions (Pioneer and Voyager) which could perform remote sensing observations (imaging and spectroscopy). Future plans include the long term exploration of Mars and the extended exploration of the Jovian and Saturnian systems.
