    TEXT: 
  /LP, /TX  NASA doesn't want to wait another two decades to make it to Mars. 
    The space agency is already looking ahead to its next shot at the 
    planet. 
     
    Make that its next shots. NASA plans to send eight more probes to 
    the Red Planet through 2005. One of them, Mars Global Surveyor, is 
    already on the way. 
     
     
  /TX  The $155 million Global Surveyor is scheduled to reach Mars in September, 
    where it will orbit the planet for almost two years and gather information 
    on the atmosphere and surface of Mars. Scientists hope that Global Surveyor 
    also will help them compile a more detailed map of the planet's surface for 
    future missions. 
     
    After Global Surveyor, NASA plans to launch an orbiter/lander pair of 
    spacecraft every 26 months. Under the agency's "faster, better, cheaper" 
    directive, each pair's price is capped at $250 million. The idea is to send 
    enough inexpensive spacecraft to eliminate the risk of one big loss, such 
    as the $1 billion Mars Observer mission that disappeared near the planet in 
    1993. 
     
    "We used to have missions that represented the last ship out of port," said 
    NASA administrator Daniel Goldin. "Now we can be tolerant of a few 
    failures." 
     
    The next pair of missions will come in late 1998 and early 1999, when NASA 
    plans to launch another orbiter and lander. The lander is scheduled to 
    touch down near Mars' south pole and study the icecaps there. The lander 
    won't use the same air-bag cushioning system as Pathfinder did; the air 
    bags are heavy and require a powerful launch rocket, which would raise the 
    price of the mission above the cap. But the camera and weather station on 
    the '98 lander will be identical to Pathfinder's. 
     
    On its way to the surface, the lander will drop two tiny probes the size of 
    soda cans that are designed to penetrate and analyze the soil. 
     
    In 2001, NASA is planning to launch another orbiter and a lander containing 
    a rover like Pathfinder's, carrying an instrument that could detect water. 
    Another lander/rover and orbiter pair is scheduled to be launched in 2003. 
    NASA planners hope the rovers will scout out the surface for possible 
    places for future missions to land. 
     
    "You don't just send settlers out, or you end up with the Donner party," 
    says Donna Shirley, manager of the Mars exploration office at the Jet 
    Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "You send Lewis and Clark out, 
    which is what these rovers are doing." 
     
    NASA is hoping to send a spacecraft in 2005 to pick up Martian soil and 
    rock and return them to Earth. 
     
    Beyond 2005, the schedule gets sketchy, but Shirley says that tentative 
    plans call for another rover in 2007, a sample return in 2009, a rover in 
    2011 and a sample return in 2013.
