Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I noticed something last night while planning a trip. As I was searching for good intercept dates for Mars, I was noticing that as I was messing with the Target Intercept date, EjA and InA were changing, and when they reached their lowest, it was in relation to when the dV values were reaching their lowest point. I believe at one point I was able to reduce EjA to 0.00, and that gave me my lowest value with dV (EjA alone, I noticed the effects with InA later).
This got me thinking, if there is a correlation between the values of EjA, InA, and the dV for the trip, would watching these values aid in finding launch windows more then just eyeballing the dV, or am I just noticing a coincidental relationship?
