Method of trip selection is described, using 10 day orbital stopover mission at Mars as example; analysis of possible interplanetary orbits integrated with transportation system design established set of minimum mass requirements on earth parking orbit; selection of best trips is shown to rely on relationship between parameters in transportation system design and mission trajectories; corresponding trajectory information uniquely defines best trip once on-orbit mass is determined; trip selection on basis of trajectory parameters alone is insufficient for ascertaining best trip in terms of vehicle mass required.
