The Outer Planets/Solar Probe Project: "Between an Ocean, a Rock, and a Hot Place"
As part of NASA's Origins program, the Outer Planets/Solar Probe Project (formerly known as the Ice and Fire Preprojects) was established in early 1998.
Trajectory Options for Ice and Fire Preproject Missions Utilizing Solar Electric Propulsion (Extended Abstract)
In the current National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budget plan, there exists a new proposed program aimed at opening up the outer solar system to new robotic science missions.
Trajectory Options for Ice and Fire Preproject Missions Utilizing Solar Electric Propulsion
The Ice and Fire Preproject defined the first mission set of the Outer Planets/Solar Probe program consisting of the Europa Orbiter, Pluto-Kuiper Express, and Solar Probe missions.
Exploring the Kuiper Belt: An Extended Pluto Mission
A robotic flyby mission to the planet Pluto is being planned for launch early in the next decade. The spacecraft will continue on out of the solar system in an almost radial direction traveling at about four AU per year and begin transiting the Kuiper Belt shortly after Pluto encounter.
Trajectory Design for a Europa Orbitter Mission: A Plethora of Astrodynamic Challenges
The icy moon of Europa is a hot topic in planetary exploration. This paper discusses the trajectory design of a Europa orbiter mission intended to find out if Europa is a possible habitat for extraterrestrial life.
