2. Mars cycler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_cycler

   Neither orbit is perfectly circular; Earth has an orbital eccentricity of 0.0168, and Mars of 0.0934. The two orbits are not quite coplanar either, as the orbit of Mars is inclined by 1.85 degrees to that of Earth. The effect of the gravity of Mars on the cycler orbits is almost negligible, but that of the far more massive Earth needs to be ...

3. Cycler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycler

   A lunar cycler or Earth–Moon cycler is a cycler orbit, or spacecraft therein, which periodically passes close by the Earth and the Moon, using gravity assists and occasional propellant-powered corrections to maintain its trajectories between the two. If the fuel required to reach a particular cycler orbit from both the Earth and the Moon is ...

4. Areosynchronous orbit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areosynchronous_orbit

   An areosynchronous orbit that is equatorial (in the same plane as the equator of Mars), circular, and prograde (rotating about Mars's axis in the same direction as the planet's surface) is known as an areostationary orbit (AEO). To an observer on the surface of Mars, the position of a satellite in AEO would appear to be fixed in a constant ...

5. Orbit of Mars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_Mars

   Mars has an orbit with a semimajor axis of 1.524 astronomical units (228 million km) (12.673 light minutes), and an eccentricity of 0.0934. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The planet orbits the Sun in 687 days [ 3 ] and travels 9.55 AU in doing so, [ 4 ] making the average orbital speed 24 km/s.

6. Interplanetary Transport Network - Wikipedia

   The orbits for two of the points, L 4 and L 5, are stable, but the halo orbits for L 1 through L 3 are stable only on the order of months. In addition to orbits around Lagrange points, the rich dynamics that arise from the gravitational pull of more than one mass yield interesting trajectories, also known as low energy transfers .

8. Interplanetary spaceflight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_spaceflight

   A spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars via this method will arrive near Mars orbit in approximately 8.5 months, but because the orbital velocity is greater when closer to the center of mass (i.e. the Sun) and slower when farther from the center, the spacecraft will be traveling quite slowly and a small application of thrust is all that is ...
