  8. You are here

  9. Spacecraft 10% Fuel 90%

  10. Now you’re here

  11. Now you’re here

  12. Now you’re here

  13. Destinations, stay time => on-board fuel mass % Rockets => limited spacecraft mass

  14. Apollo (Lunar Lander): 61%

  15. Pioneer / Voyager (Planetary Flybys): 46%

  16. Galileo (Jupiter Orbiter): 42%

  17. Galileo (Jupiter Orbiter): 42%

  18. NEAR (Asteroid Orbiter / Lander): 40%

  19. Genesis (Solar Wind Sample Return): 4%

  20. Your car (San Francisco): 5%

  21. Your car (Bakersfield, maybe?): 5%

  22. Less fuel => more payload more science

  23. Less fuel => more payload more science more bang per buck

  24. You are here

  25. Pick your destinations

  26. Flybys

  27. Pioneer and Voyager Probes

  28. Clever path choice

  29. Clever path choice

  30. Genesis and other future missions Moon’s orbit <= Sun

  31. Multi-Moon Orbiter

  32. Map of all the clever paths: Low energy passageways Image Source: Cici Koenig

  33. What makes a comet or spacecraft move along strange paths?
