There is currently a vigorous investigation underway of low-cost planetary missions using small, inexpensive spacecraft. In order to keep the total mission costs down either a medium class launch vehicle such as a Delta II or an intermediate class launch vehicle such as an Atlas IIA or Atlas IIAS would be required for these planetary missions.
