Procedure (1/6)
Given: start date (and position), end date (and position), names and order (= sequence) of n planets to be encountered and dates of encounters, a trajectory is designed by solving n + 1 3D Lambert problems, estimating one V for each planetary encounter: it has to be provided by planet + engine, computing the swingby parameters (orbital elements of the hyperbolas)

Look for local optimization based on varying the dates, aiming at minimum of C with SQP/Simplex algorithm: at each iteration a full trajectory from departure to arrival is computed, and the objective function is evaluated.

Introduce two intermediate elliptical orbits with semimajor axis 1 AU, so that they are cheap to reach and leave, and resonant with the Earth: after a number of revolutions on the rst ellipse, the s/c encounters the Earth where the swingby occurs BUT it is fast. After the swingby, the s/c and enters the second ellipse and after the appropriate number of revolutions returns to the orbit of the Earth to encounter L3 . Rather cheap (4 km/s), feasible, BUT long (>> 2000 days).

Optimal control
Optimal thrust vector is obtained by setting H/ = 0 with the normalization constraint T = 1. the optimal control is: = v v
Nonlinear constrained optimization problem (solved with SNOPT). The optimization parameters are the initial values (t = 0) of the costates and the time of ight. The performance index is the time of ight. A set of constraints act on the nal value of the states, i.e., rf and vf .

Conclusions
Comparison in terms of V budget versus TOF can easily be made among the three techniques that use impulsive maneuvers: multi-revolution transfer: 2.2 km/s in 4.5 years patched conics with multiple swingbys are more expensive: only the standard EEL3 case is cheap and fast but requires further verication. IM transfers are cheap (0.5 - 1.7 km/s) but longer (> 6 years) A dierent concept, based on electrical engines, allows direct transfers from either L1 or L2 to L3 in 1.5 years with 30% mass consumption.
