Objects that have retained pieces of information about the early Solar System are key to our understanding of its formation and evolutionary history. However, the high delta-V required to reach these objects, such as long-period comets or interstellar objects, makes designing an intercept mission at the time of detection impractical. In this paper, we explore multiple heliocentric staging orbits around Lagrange points to serve as departure positions for future missions, prior to objects’ detections. By utilizing more than one staging orbit concurrently, we expand the set of objects that are reachable, therefore increasing mission feasibility. Delta-V maps are generated and superimposed; two-impulse burn trajectories are simulated and compared between the different staging orbits.
