As part of the CRAF/Cassini Project, the Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby (CRAF) mission will explore primitive solar system bodies. CRAF is unique in that there are a number of scientifically acceptable targets from which to choose. In principle, each may be reached with several types of trajectories. This results in a large number of potential mission opportunities which must be considered. The various mission modes being considered will be discussed along with the criteria by which these missions are evaluated in order to reduce them to a smaller set. Also, the current primary and backup missions will be discussed.
