Scientific paper

Approved and proposed U.S. planetary missions for the remainder of the century are described. The Galileo Jupiter probe will be launched in 1986 and the Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar spacecraft has been derated to 0.5-1 km resolution (from 0.1 km resolution) and half the cost. A Common Missions Operations System has been devised to help control costs on the development of new spacecraft. Missions suggested for the decade of the 1990s include a Mars geoscience and climatology Orbiter, a comet rendezvous and asteroid flyby, and a Titan probe and radar mapper. Only the comet rendezvous and asteroid flyby spacecraft would be an entirely new configuration. Other recommended missions, which could be implemented if an economic upturn is experienced, comprise retrieving a sample of Martian soil, exploration of the Mars surface with a robot rover, sampling a comet, and operation of a buoyant station in Titan's atmosphere.
