Petit Grand Tour: Mission Concepts to Outer Planet Satellites Using Non-Conic Low Energy Trajectories

Our Solar System is connected by a vast Interplanetary Superhighway System (ISSys) providing low energy transport throughout. The Outer Planets with their satellites and rings are smaller replicas of the Solar System with their own ISSys, also providing low energy transport within their own satellite systems. This low energy transport system is generated by all of the Lagrange points of the planets and satellites within the Solar System. Figures show the tubular passage-ways near L1 of Jupiter and the ISSys of Jupiter schematically. These delicate and resilient dynamics may be used to great effect to produce free temporary captures of a spacecraft by a planet or satellite, low energy interplanetary and inter-satellite transfers, as well as precision impact orbits onto the surface of the satellites.
