Abstract The trajectories of solar missions that could be realized with conversion launchers are investigated. The insufficient energy resources of the rocket launchers is compensated by multiple gravity-assist maneuvers near terrestrial planets. A method based on the construction of a set of attainability for all the mission trajectories rather than on optimization of separate trajectories is presented, which makes it possible to analyze the problem more widely and to find global extremums using various criteria. Detailed features of the most rational trajectories are given.
