Summary
Description
<p> <span style="font-family: &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;;">We propose a new mission concept, called MAGNETOUR, that enables a spacecraft to orbit and travel between multiple moons of an outer planet, using very little or even no propellant. To achieve this free-lunch &lsquo;Grand Tour&rsquo;, we e</span>xploit the unexplored combination of magnetic and multi-body gravitational fields of planetary systems. This concept involves combining two main innovations:</p> <ol> <li> Design of a very low delta-v tour of planetary moons by considering the intrinsic multi-body gravitational dynamics of planetary systems, and</li> <li> Use of the electromagnetic Lorentz force as a revolutionary means for performing the required low delta-v maneuvers of our low-energy tour.</li> </ol> <p> &nbsp;</p> <script id="dstb-id" language="javascript"> if(typeof(dstb)!= "undefined"){ dstb();}</script>
