The book describes a two-year mission from Earth to Mars. Orbital configurations allow for only a 30-day stay in martian orbit. A lander sortie lands on a plateau in the Valles Marinaris (Mars' Grand Canyon). The mission also launches Mars penetrators to create a global seismic network, and deploys a Mars Airplane remotely to overfly the surface for a wide ranging close-up survey. The book includes maps for geologic expeditions from the Mars Rover which parachutes down near the lander. On returning, the astronauts stop at an orbital isolation facility to make sure there are no transfers of any microbial martian life forms to Earth.
