Parking orbits for a manned Mars mission are examined for ease of access to the Martian moons. Delta V plots for a variety of burns versus elliptical orbit apoapsis are included. A high elliptical orbit (24 hour period, 500 km periapsis, 20 to 30 deg. inclination) minimizes delta V to the Martian moons and Mars orbit insertion (MOI) and trans-Earth injection (TEI) delta Vs.
