This package contains scenarios of slings to outer planets using gravity assists from earth & venus so as to minimize the deltaV required.
IMPORTANT - Due to character limit imposed by orbit hangar on addon descriptions, a more detailed description is available to read at http: //orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=37370
Folder 1 - Low time of flight
2017 EVVEJU Sedna - A low TOF solution to get to Uranus. The orbit ejection takes place early 2017. Reaches Uranus in about 10 years. Thereafter, we can also sling Uranus to get to sedna.
2018 EVEEJ - My fastest transfer to jupiter using two earth slings unlike the previous scenario. Orbit ejection take place late 2018 and encounter with jupiter occurs 5.07 years later.
2026 EVEEJN Eris - A low TOF solution to Neptune. Orbit ejection takes place late 2026. Reaches Neptune 12 years later. Thereafter, we can sling Neptune to get to Eris.
2026 Fall into the sun - A direct burn to the sun's surface from earth is fuel-wise inefficient, so jupiter is used to lower the periapsis. Reaches the sun 8 years after the launch date.
2033 EVEEJS Haumea - A low TOF solution to saturn. Orbit ejection takes place early 2033. Reaches saturn in 7.5 years. Thereafter, we can sling saturn to get to Haumea. This adds an additional 10.3 years to the mission.
Folder 2 - Low encounter velocity
2017 EVVEJ - Low encounter velocity plan to jupiter. Orbit ejection takes place early 2017 & encounter with jupiter occurs 5.5 years later.
2018 EVEEU - A single venus sling & two earth slings take me straight to Uranus. Orbit ejection takes place late 2018 and arrival to Uranus takes place 15.5 years later.
2025 EVEES - Get to saturn from earth after a single venus & 2 earth slings. Orbit ejection takes place early 2025. Reaches saturn in 9 years.
Folder 3 - Other scenarios
2018 Fall into the sun - Another fall into the sun scenario, this time, TOF to reach the sun is 11 years.
2020 EVVEJ - Another fuel efficient sling to jupiter. Total TOF is 5.8 years, orbit ejection date is early 2020, has a low encounter velocity to jupiter.
2022 EVVEJ - Trajectory to get to jupiter starting from early 2022, takes 5.3 years to get to jupiter.
2023 EVVEJ - Yet another trajectory to get to jupiter, this time starting from mid 2023. It takes 5.2 years to get to jupiter.
2023 EVVEJN Sedna - Get to neptune & then sedna starting from mid 2023, this time it takes 19 years to get to Neptune & a total 37.7 years to get to sedna.
