Space Flight Handbooks, Volume 3 - Planetary Flight Handbook. Part 8 - Jupiter Swingby Missions to Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Supplement - Tabular Trajectory Data

The trajectory data are presented chronologically and are organized by holding the arrival date constant while varying the Earth departure date in increments of 10 days. Upon completion of the specified range of Earth departure dates, the arrival date is incremented and the range of departure dates is repeated. The range of departure and arrival dates and the corresponding increments are given in Table 5-1 for each launch opportunity. It should be noted that the interval in arrival date is increased in the long flight time region where the variation of the trajectory parameters is relatively small. The criteria used for the selection of these dates are, in general: (i) the minimum Earth departure hyperbolic excess speed (across the Earth departure window) shall not exceed 0.65 EMOS and (2) the periapsis radius at Jupiter shall not be less than 0.95 planet radii.
