Method for Rapid Interplanetary Trajectory Analysis using ΔV Maps with Flyby Options

This paper develops a convenient tool which is capable of calculating ballistic interplanetary trajectories with planetary flyby options to create exhaustive V contour plots for both direct trajectories without flybys and flyby trajectories in a single chart. The contours of V for a range of departu...
