Missions to Titan /1983-2000/ - An analysis of orbiters and entry vehiclesMission Analysis data is presented which forms a basis for planning future missions to Titan, the seventh moon of Saturn. Four Titan mission options are studied: orbiters, probes, penetrators and landers. The generated data supports these mission modes. A comprehensive launch and trajectory analysis of earth to Saturn opportunities from 1983 to 2000 is given. Direct ballistic and Delta VEGA trajectory modes are evaluated. Orbital insertion, orbital trim, entry vehicle deployment options are all studied in parametric detail.
