The technical feasibility of accomplishing a variety of cost-effective missions to the satellites of Mars were investigated. Three mission options were studied: a basic satellite rendezvous and landing mission, a satellite sample return mission, and a combination Mars landing and Phobos/Deimos exploration mission. Nominal science payloads and supporting subsystems were defined for each mission design. Configuration layouts, program schedules, and cost estimates were also developed for each option. Environmental criteria unique to the mission were developed. Supporting studies, research, and technology requirements were identified.
