Abstract

This document contains graphical data necessary for the preliminary design of ballistic
missions to Mars. Contours of launch energy requirements, as well as many other launch
and Mars arrival parameters, are presented in launch date/arrival date space for all launch
opportunities from 1990 through 2005. In addition, an extensive text is included which
explains mission design methods, from launch window development to Mars probe and
orbiter arrival design, utilizing the graphical data in this volume as well as numerous
equations relating various parameters. This is one of a planned series of mission design
documents which will apply to all planets and some other bodies in the solar system.

Preface

This publication is one of a series of volumes devoted to interplanetary trajectories of


different types. Volume I deals with ballistic trajectories. The present publication is
Part 2 and describes ballistic trajectories to Mars. Part 3, which was published in 1982,
treated ballistic trajectories to Jupiter. Part 4, which was published earlier in 1983,
described ballistic trajectories to Saturn. Parts 1 and 5, which will be published in the
near future, will treat ballistic trajectories to Venus and Mars-to-Earth return trajectories,
respectively.

planet during the far-encounter phase for a Sun- or an Earth-

Fundamentally different is a launch strategy for a dual o,

A 14-day pad turnaround separation between launches was
f to be maintained, a 10-day opportunity was to be available
for each launch, and the two spacecraft had substantially
different objectives at Jupiter and Saturn-one was to be
Io-intensive and a close Jupiter flyby, to be followed by a
close Titan encounter at Saturn, and the other was Ganymede-

variety of wind drift models, and thus, are even more complex
as far as the communications problem with the Earth or the
spacecraft is concerned.

E. Launch Strategy Construction

The constraints and desires, briefly discussed above, may be


displayed on the mission space launch/arrival day plot as
being limited by the contour boundaries of"C3L, the dates,
DLA, VHP, ZAP, etc., thus displaying the allowable launch
space.

Within this launch space a preferred day-by-day launch


strategy must be specified, in accordance with prevailing
objectives. The simplest launch strategy, often used to maintain
a constant arrival date at the target planet, results in daily
launch points on a horizontal line from leftmost to rightmost
maximum allowable C L boundary for that arrival date. DEC 1

Such a strategy makes u3e of the fact that most arrival charac- 19B0

teristics may stay nearly constant across the launch space. 16 20 24 28 1 S g 13 17 21
