The Antartic Ice Borehole Probe
The Antartic Ice Borehole Probe mission is a glaciological investigation, scheduled for November 2000-2001, that will place a probe in a hot-water drilled hole in the West Antartic ice sheet. The objectives of the probe are to observe ice-bed interactions with a downward looking camera, and ice inclusions and structure, including hypothesized ice accretion, with a side-looking camera.

Current Thinking on Measurements to be Performed at the First Probe Entry into Lake Vostok
The very first entry of a probe into Lake Vostok will require that extraordinary precautions be exercised to assure that the vehicle and the instrumentation be clean of biological material.

(abstract) Hermes Global Orbiter: Mission to Mercury
The Hermes Global Orbiter is a proposed Discovery-class mission. Hermes will be launched aboard a Delta II rocket in 1999 and will be placed in an elliptical polar orbit about Mercury. Remote sensing measurements of the planet's surface, atmosphere, and magnetosphere will be performed. Key mission goals include mapping the entire surface at 1 km resolution, characterizing the surface composition, texture and topography, searching for water ice at the poles, characterizing the atmosphere, and constraining the interior structure.
