This paper compares a number of maneuver strategies for five multi-planet missions, including the single planet strategy of nulling the aim-plane and flight-time errors at the immediate target. Significant differences were found among the strategies in the amount of corrective propellant required and the residual miss at each target. In general, nulling or minimization of the residual miss at the next target was found to be superior to that at the immediate target, when error growth is not nulled early. The best strategy corrects aim-plane and flight-time errors at the next target.
