Review of the currently consolidating interest in one or more relatively inexpensive small body exploration missions, and discussion of a proposed ballistic flyby of two asteroids and the periodic comet Forbes, to be launched in 1977. Trajectory data and target encounter conditions are presented for a selected set of missions which are compatible with the propulsion capabilities of a modified Pioneer F & G spacecraft.
