摘要
Solar electric propulsion (SEP) trajectories to Saturn using multiple gravity assists are explored for the joint NASA and ESA Titan Saturn System Mission concept. Results show that these new set of trajectories enable greater performance compared to chemical propulsion with similar gravity assists or SEP without gravity assists. This paper will discuss the method used in finding these interplanetary trajectories and examines variations in the performance for difference SEP systems, flight times, and flyby sequences. The benefits of the SEP trajectories for a mission to Saturn are also discussed.
