The feasibility of using Venus and earth gravity assists for delivering spacecraft to the asteroid belt with a low launch energy but with the additional flight time from earth to Venus and back to earth. A numerical investigation for this kind of trajectory reveals a wide range of possibilities. Energy gain tables and synodic and resonance interval tables are presented for the gravity-assist trajectories. Tables are presented for the first twenty asteroids on the trajectories. These gravity-assist flybys are compared to direct launch multi-asteroid flybys, illustrating the advantage of the gravity-assist type in launch energy requirements.
