Three basic approaches considered include flyby missions in which landing is not attempted; orbiter missions in which spacecraft is put into capture orbit about target planet, by either retropropulsion or aerodynamic capture; and orbiter/lander missions in which lander is sent to surface of planet (manned landings are considered for Mars only); possible mission modes and vehicles and critical areas of technology are identified.
