A dual flyby mission to the planets and satellite systems of Jupiter and Saturn is being planned for Fall 1977 launch. Two Mariner spacecraft, fully attitude-stabilized and carrying about 90 kg of instruments to support some eleven experiments, will make interplanetary measurements for a minimum of about four years. They will spend several weeks investigating the planets and several of their satellites at close range, using TV cameras, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers, and a variety of other scanning instruments, field and particle sensors, and radio devices. The mission and equipment designs are described in terms of the integrated plan for a thorough and coordinated scientific exploration of the two planetary systems.
