The primary purpose of the first mission utilizing a Mariner Mark II spacecraft will be to rendezvous with the short-period comet Wild 2 and conduct a proximal examination during the comet's quiescent and active phases. The purpose of the present study is to elucidate, using an accurate dynamic model, some of the characteristics of the interplanetary trajectory that are relevant to the mission design. Optimal transfer trajectories are generated, constrained by the Shuttle/Centaur launch vehicle capability and the total spacecraft mass and performance. Asteroid flyby opportunities are examined, and the effects of selected asteroid encounters on mission performance are discussed.
