The sun–Jupiter Trojan asteroids are celestial bodies of great scientific interest as well as potential natural assets offering mineral resources for long-term human exploration of the Solar System. Previous investigations have addressed the automated design of tours within the asteroid swarm and the transition of prospective tours to higher-fidelity, end-to-end trajectories. The current development incorporates the route-finding ant colony optimization algorithm into the automated tour-generation procedure. Furthermore, the potential scientific merit of the destination asteroids is incorporated such that encounters with higher-value asteroids are preferentially incorporated during sequence creation.
