Multiple-encounter, multiple maneuver voyages analyzed in detail. Report describes ADAM (Advanced Analysis of Maneuvers) system, integrated collection of computer programs to aid design and analysis of maneuvers for deep space voyages involving multiple maneuvers and multiple encounters with planets and moons. Used in planning Galileo mission and used in both planning and operation of Voyager mission. Modularity of ADAM allows use of entirely new models, algorithms, trajectories, and maneuvering schedules. Characteristic great asset when spacecraft does not perform as planned.
