Gravity-assist trajectories have proven valuable in interplanetary missions such as the Pioneer, Voyager and Galileo. In this paper, we design interplanetary trajectory for main belt asteroid exploration mission with the Mars gravity-assist (MGA) using “pork chop” plots and patched-conic theory and give some initial valuable trajectory parameters on main belt asteroid exploration mission with MGA.展开更多
