The planning of a joint mission involving the two Helios spacecraft and the two Voyager spacecraft is reported. During late fall 1977 the position of the four spacecraft facilitated correlation measurements as part of an investigation of interplanetary space in the vicinity of the earth. The spacecraft and their orbits are described, and the benefits that could result from future joint missions are considered.
