Scientific paper

The optimization of solar electric propulsion earth-gravity-assist trajectories to the outer planets is presented. Included in the optimization is both earth swingby velocity and swingby date. Mission modes with and without optimal post swingby thrust are compared. Performance suitable for preliminary mission studies is presented for the four major outer planets using circular-coplanar planetary orbits and additional performance is presented for a Saturn Orbiter-Dual Probe mission.
