Selected missions using solar electric propulsion and conventional propulsion systems were studied. The accomplishment of the tasks required extensive modification of the trajectory optimization computer program HILTOP. In addition to adding new program features, HILTOP was completely restructured to reduce execution time. The specific mission studies reported on are the direct and Venus swingby missions to the comet Encke and solar electric propulsion missions to Encke and to a distance of 0.25 AU from the sun.
