Antipode, funny you should mention that, as I am now writing up a description of a mission which includes some elements of what you describe. More on this later.

Phil Was this by any chance the 'Mars Twilight Flyby' that NASA was planning in 1966? As I remember the documents I looked through the plan was to fly past Mars, drop off six probes (1 orbiters, 3 hard landers & 2 soft landers), one of which would rocket into orbit a capsule containing a Mars rock/atmosphere sample and film from a high resolution camera for pickup by the manned flyby craft. On the way back the astronauts would analyze the surface samples and beam the results back to Earth. |
