An automated mission design program permits a thorough examination of gravity-assist trajectories such as the Voyager II flight to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The program is applied to the automated design of multiple encounter trajectories to the far outer planets. The most significant result is that the last four-planet grand tour opportunity occurs in 1996 and includes encounters with Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Other mission designs include Jupiter and one or two other planets and have characteristically short flight times.
