"Touch-and-Go," or TAG, is an approach to small-body surface interrogation missions in which the spacecraft descends to the surface, remains in contact for a short time, and then ascends without coming to rest. Appropriate trajectory design solutions to support TAG missions vary widely based on the spacecraft dynamics, small-body environment, spacecraft and ground systems capabilities, and mission objectives. This paper discusses various factors that are considered during the process of developing a TAG mission trajectory and presents a few case study examples to demonstrate how TAG trajectories may vary from mission to mission.
