- Abstract
A novel method of virtual trajectories is proposed for the design of multiple gravity assist trajectories. The database of virtual trajectories can be tabulated for any planetary sequence and used in subsequent calculations. Requirements for the mission duration and the launch date are taken into account during the iterative procedure of database screening and refinement. The results of applying the virtual trajectories method to the design of a mission to Uranus are presented.
