A major accomplishment of the mission analysis performed for Mariner 10 was the selection of a trajectory which optimized science return from the mission. The analysis utilized simple, unweighted 'science value functions' which allowed the relative values of each candidate trajectory, for each of the seven science experiments, to be calculated. A total relative value for each trajectory was determined by a simple averaging process and sensitivities were revealed by multiplying individual values. This showed a clear scientific preference for launching in early November and was used to support deferral of the launch from early October to November 3, 1973.
