Preliminary studies of a Pioneer-class Mars-orbiter aeronomy mission are reviewed. The aeronomy objectives and payload are discussed, along with the mission requirements, spacecraft design requirements, possible spacecraft designs, and total mission costs. It is shown that existing earth-orbiting communication satellites can be easily modified for the aeronomy mission and that the total mission cost should be between $150 million and $185 million in 1982 dollars.
