Scientific paper

A previously described method to find feasible asteroid flyby missions
is extended here to include comets. It is shown that the gravitational
assistance of planets can be used to match the speed of comets at
perihelion, thus enabling a rendezvous. Several missions which are
viable using an Ariane IV launcher are examined.
