Scientific paper

The asteroid 3200 Phaethon (previously 1983 TB) is being suggested for direct research by interplanetary probe. The asteroid, in an Apollo-type orbit, coincides with Geminid meteor stream and is so far the only body known to have features of an asteroid as well as a comet. A special program has been prepared for a desk computer to analyze interplanetary orbits with which the asteroid could be reached by the year 2000. Direct trajectories as well as trajectories with a gravitational maneuver near Venus have been tested.
