A formal mission-planning process was developed for the Mariner Mars 1971 missions to allow large-scale mission-plan changes based upon flight experience. A modular approach was taken to the definition of requirements and constraints for elements of the mission. A set of rules for combining these modules was established. The concept of a standard mission day was developed in order to provide a consistent time framework for operations. The resulting process allowed for major mission revisions after the failure of Mariner 8 and again after a dust storm had obscured Mars. It allowed adaptive science planning on a short-term turnaround basis throughout the mission.
