The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn 1977 Spacecraft is designed to conduct a broad range of intensive investigations of the Jupiter and Saturn planetary systems, and of the interplanetary medium from earth to beyond Saturn. The spacecraft design has evolved from earlier Mariners, the Viking Orbiter, and the technology available for implementing long-life, reliable spacecraft designs. A description of the design is presented, and adaptations of that design for Jupiter/Uranus, Jupiter Orbiter, probe carrying, and mini-satellite carrying missions are discussed.
