N2 - Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has established a novel working group for the next Mars exploration program named MELOS to be started in the late 2010's. This paper describes the preliminary mission analysis and orbit design for several candidate plans. Synergic exploration by several spacecraft requires complicated and careful consideration, different from single-probe missions. Some mission plans to realize required configuration and simple simulation results are reported.
