Scientific paper

The paper describes the maneuver strategies for the Venus Orbit Insertion and the Orbit Trim Maneuvers for the Magellan mission. An optimum three impulse strategy has been developed for the Venus Orbit insertion maneuver that minimizes the fuel consumed during the trim maneuvers. In addition an optimum two impulse strategy has been designed specifically for the two trim maneuvers that minimizes the fuel consumed while correcting for period, periapsis altitude, argument of periapsis, and inclination.
