MARS MISSION OF THE FUTURE.—An artist’s drawing of a Mars mission of the 1980’s as proposed by the Westinghouse Electronics Astronuclear Laboratory. The nuclear-propelled spacecraft is shown being assembled in orbit. The nuclear engine is at bottom left. An orbital assembly team is swinging the second stage into position with “space tugs.” The second stage would brake the craft into Mars orbit. The cluster of four cyclinders (top right) houses astronauts. The assembly team’s temporary living quarters are at right angles.
