Scientific paper

Several closed form trajectory solutions have been developed for low-thrust interplanetary flight and used with patched conics for analysis of combined propulsion systems. The solutions provide insight into alternative types of Mars missions and show considerable mass savings for fast crewed missions with outbound trip times on the order of 90-100 days.
