Missions to the surface of Mars, carrying a Rover and having a sample return capability, constitute another logical step in the exploration of that planet in the late 1990's. Results of a recent study are described. A comparison of viable mission options, involving: retropropulsion vs. aerobraking/aeromaneuvering, direct return vs. Mars orbit rendezous, as well as the future potential of 'in-situ propellant production', is presented. An overview of a variety of scenarios of unmanned expeditions to Mars and their subsequent return to earth, within the addressed time period, is provided.
