The feasibility of Mars missions is considered. The Soviet mission to Phobos, a satellite of Mars, is discussed. In the 1990's, the Soviet Mars program calls for global research of the surface and the atmosphere of Mars with artificial satellites, balloon probes, surface excursion vehicles, weather probes, and penetrator probes delivered to the surface, and a subsatellite that separates from the main craft. These systems are discussed along with the technology for delivering Martian soil samples to Earth. Possibilities for international cooperation on a Mars mission are also discussed.
