Abstract
This paper presents the results of optimal interplanetary trajectories utilizing constant radial thrust and gravitational assists. The goal of these trajectories is to minimize flight time for a planetary flyby and to minimize the final impulsive velocity change for planetary rendezvous. Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion provides the constant radial thrust.
