Two mission concepts utilizing modified Pioneer Venus hardware are presented as relatively low-cost alternatives for scientific exploration of Mars in 1979. Mission A would perform in situ aeronomy measurements in the Martian ionosphere and include several remote sensing instruments capable of geological surface mapping at low altitudes. The initial high eccentricity orbit would be allowed to decay in an adaptive mode. Mission B would sequentially deploy (from an orbiter bus), four, nondestructing surface penetrometers carrying instrumentation to investigate soil density, composition and chemistry, subsurface water, and perhaps seismology. Mission B is more expensive than mission A, since it requires more extensive hardware modifications and systems development.
