Paper advocates more comprehensive program for unmanned exploration than now planned; pertinent characteristics of planets and satellites in solar system used; examination of velocity requirements, launch velocity and launch windows; use of indirect flight and gravity fields, in particular Jupiter's gravity field; method of approaching planet and landing on its satellites making use of planetary atmospheres and gravity fields to reduce propulsive velocity requirements to minimum; launch vehicle and spacecraft proposed; proper staging and use of high energy chemical propellants available permits development of probe vehicle only 1/3rd launch weight of Saturn 1-B for use throughout solar system.
