Mars trajectory options for the Space Exploration InitiativeThe Mission Definition Office within the Lunar and Mars Exploration Program Office at the NASA/Johnson Space Center has the responsibility for leading the Space Exploration Initiative mission design activities across the Agency. In support of the Synthesis Group architecture analyses, a mission concept that includes fast one-way transits to and from Mars, a powered flyby abort, and an early return option has been developed. This paper will describe this integrated approach to Mars mission planning.
