TRAJECTORY TO THE ORBIT LARGELY INCLINED WITH THE ECLIPTIC PLANE BY WAY OF ELECTRIC PROPULSION DELTA-V EARTH GRAVITY ASSIST

The study on the post- HINODE Solar Observation Mission has been started by members in the Solar physics community. One candidate of the mission targets on the observation of the high latitude region of the Sun, which requires the injection of the space observatory (spacecraft) into the orbit largely inclined with the ecliptic plane. Reported in this paper are the trajectory design results for this orbit transfer, which contains a sequential application of the Electric Propulsion Delta-V Earth Gravity Assist (EDVEGA) procedure.
