Analysis of trajectory constraints imposed on interplanetary mission launches from established parking orbit plane is presented; three major Earth-escape modes are defined and compared with respect to energy and plane-change requirements; single equation is developed which determines plane-change requirement for any mission in terms of parameters that cause it; example interplanetary missions to Venus and Mars are used to illustrate decrease in launching opportunity resulting from plane-change considerations.
