Interplanetary missions for the late twentieth century

A set of missions that is feasible during the remainder of this century and which will significantly contribute to our understanding of the solar system is presented. Targets include comets, asteroids, the outer planets and their satellites, and Mars. Mission opportunities for these targets are described in terms of launch vehicle, propulsion, and flight-time requirements, as well as other mission constraints such as launch payload margin and launch period objectives. Examples of encounter designs are also given.
