An intensive science and mission planning effort has been underway for several years to develop the next logical candidate mission to the outer planets following the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn 1977 Mission. The highest priority candidate that emerges from this effort is the launch of a MJS-derived Mariner spacecraft to Uranus during the 1979 Jupiter/Uranus opportunity. Since 1972 when the Outer Planets Science Advisory Group recommended MJU79 to follow MJS77, four other science groups have addressed this issue and arrived at the same recommendation. Currently, the planning effort is most intensive and the paper will report the past and present determinations of the various science and mission planning activities, emphasizing science value, technical factors and fiscal constraints.
