Grand tour of planets urged by scientific panel
A NAS/NAS report directs NASA to launch unmanned probes on a grand tour of Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto using gravity assists to reach the outer solar system. The plan, led by James Van Allen and Gordon MacDonald, could occur in the late 1970s with existing rockets and cost a fraction of current programs. Congressional and administrative approval is required, and a long term outer solar system plan is urged. Special probes must endure extreme pressures and magnetic fields.
