Low-Energy Endgame Trajectory Design for Callisto Orbiter

What is it about?

Callisto is considered a promising target for future Jovian orbiting and landing missions because of its high scientific value and low radiation environment. For the planetary moon orbiter and lander, an important phase of the mission is the transfer to the science orbit of the target body, known as the endgame. This paper presents a new low-energy endgame for Callisto that can achieve low transfer costs with short flight times.
