The Galileo mission has been reprogrammed to use a direct earth-Jupiter trajectory with a May 1986 launch date and with arrival at Jupiter occurring in mid-1988. Within the constraints of Shuttle/Centaur launch vehicle capability and total spacecraft mass and performance, optimal broken-plane trajectories are generated, and the region of positive propellant margin in the launch/arrival space is determined. Mission constraints are used to define a launch/arrival strategy. It is also shown that a close flyby of any one of several asteroids or a comet is possible on the interplanetary transfer with minimal impact on mission performance.
