Analysis is presented of midcourse plane changes for ballistic interplanetary trajectories designed to eliminate certain recurring periods of high velocity requirements that are associated with interplanetary trajectories in absence of plane changes; illustrating application, curves of trip time and velocity requirement vs launch date are presented for Earth-Mars trajectories during 1964 to 1965 time period.
