Recently developed flight techniques, utilizing various combinations of Venus and earth gravity-assist, offer the prospect of greatly reducing launch energy requirements for some types of missions. Since outer planet exploration represents the most demanding requirements imposed on the Space Transportation System by the current Planetary Mission Model, the new flight techniques are relevant to the direction and pace of Shuttle upper stage development. This paper describes the principles and operational characteristics of the new flight techniques and relates the performance improvement potential for Jupiter and Saturn orbiter missions to the range of capabilities associated with the competing candidates for the interim upper stage role.
