Abstract
We have studied energy-low-cost ballistic trajectories of a spacecraft flight to Venus with asteroid flyby. It is shown that when using schemes including a gravitational maneuver required to deliver the lander to a given area on the surface of Venus, the passing of at least one asteroid is possible. A total of 39 asteroids were discovered, whose passage can occur when launching in 2029–2050. An analysis of the attainable landing areas during the flight of a spacecraft to Venus along trajectories of this type has been performed. It is shown that in each launch window in the period from 2029 to 2050, it is possible to find an asteroid whose passage is possible during the time period between two approaches of the spacecraft to Venus.
期刊介绍:
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
