Design of a Rational Mission Profile for the Flight of Spacecraft to the Solar System Center

详细

This study is devoted to the features of designing the flight trajectories to the Solar System center for two promising Russian spacecraft. The scientific goal of this project is studying the circumsolar space from close distances (60–80 solar radii) and extraecliptic inclinations. The planes of the spacecraft operational orbits should be inclined in opposite directions with respect to the Sun’s rotation axis. The description of the spacecraft trajectories and the main characteristics of their flight profiles are presented.
