This paper describes the approach that NASA will use to obtain the mandatory science results with a minimum expenditure of resources for the new thrusts which will be initiated. The specific projects that will be described to illustrate the planned utilization of standardized hardware and software are the Outer Planet Orbiter/Probe (Jupiter) and the Terrestrial Bodies Orbiter (Lunar) missions. This paper describes the coupling between these missions and future missions to a variety of bodies in the solar system and the benefits to be derived by developing a design that will accommodate future missions as opposed to optimized designs for each individual mission.
