This thesis is aimed at studying direct (i.e., without intermediate flybys) trajectories to visit different moons of a planetary system. In particular, the case of study is that of the Galilean moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610, orbiting around Jupiter.

Abstract

This thesis is aimed at studying direct (i.e., without intermediate flybys) trajectories to visit different moons of a planetary system. In particular, the case of study is that of the Galilean moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610, orbiting around Jupiter.
