Low-energy multiple rendezvous of main belt asteroidsAn approach to multiple asteroid rendezvous missions to the main belt region is proposed. In this approach key information which consists of a launch date and delta V can be generated for all possible pairs of asteroids satisfying specific constraints. This information is made available on a computer file for 1000 numbered asteroids with reasonable assumptions, limitations, and approximations to limit the computer requirements and the size of the data file.
