Trajectory Optimization and Mission Design for Interplanetary Transfers to Mars and Ceres

Since space exploration agencies and private companies are preparing for deep-space missions, executing interplanetary missions between Earth, Mars and Ceres is now much more practical in the years ahead. By being motivated in this way, we have improved mission concepts that maximize energy savings and outstanding science, assisted in major ways by our roundtrip plan based on Interplanetary Trajectory Analysis and Resource Study (ITARS) technology. Therefore, to demonstrate our framework’s usefulness, we offer optimized ways to travel between planets and the setups of the propulsion systems. A range of assessments include studying gravity techniques, setting delta velocities and defining mission durations to fit specified planetary situations. We also study how different propulsion methods affect the possible path of the spacecraft and the effects of bigger gravitational forces on the spacecraft’s stability.
