Voyage
to Mars
In Earth years, it is 2076, and the now routine Voyage
to Mars has brought the latest human crew into
Martian orbit. The Mars Control team has been living on Mars
for two years. Anxious
to get home, they direct the Mars Transport Vehicle
team (their replacement crew) to arrive on the planet safely so that they are able to take
over the Mars Mission. This will allow the
Mars Control team to return home Earth on schedule.

Rendezvous
With A Comet
In the not-too-distant future a team of scientists
and engineers are serving as astronauts and mission
controllers on a daring exploration of comets. Their goal is to plot a course to
rendezvous with a comet and launch a probe to
collect scientific data on the object.
