Mission Design of Multipurpose Flights to Venus

Аннотация

The results of applying the efficient methods developed by the authors of this paper for designing interplanetary flight missions to Venus in the near future with the purpose of either executing gravity assist maneuvers (GAMs) around it or being injected into an orbit of Venus and descending onto its surface are presented. The focus is on calculating the launch times and methods for constructing and calculating the reachability regions of the descent module on the surface of Venus.
