Scientific paper

This paper examines the potential of aeroassist maneuvers at Mars for missions to the sun and to Pluto, using a high-lift/drag vehicle such as the waverider to perform an atmospheric 'fly-around' of Mars, in order to rotate the planetocentric velocity vector, thus adding to the rather small rotation due to gravity alone. A fly-around in one direction or the other can place the aphelion or the perihelion of the resulting orbit at the Mars distance, for missions toward the sun or toward Pluto, respectively. The parameters of such maneuvers are given as a function of earth launch velocity.
