The considered MJS77 project involves the launching of two spacecraft during a one-month launch period which opens on August 20, 1977. Each Mariner craft will perform a flyby mission through the Jupiter and Saturn planetary systems. The targets of the missions are discussed and a spacecraft description is presented. The mission design factors are considered, taking into account details concerning the trajectory selection process, the MJS77 mission module, the remote sensing capability of MJS77 science instruments, and the targeting option of a possible continuation of the mission to Uranus. Attention is given to the search for attractive trajectory candidates, the relationship between Saturn arrival data and Jupiter arrival dates of special interest, and observation sequences.
