Abstract
This paper investigates the solution of Lambert's Problem for targets in elliptical orbits. Preliminary efforts are made in developing a mission design software tool to determine the optimal interplanetary trajectory and final capture orbit based on mission constraints and requirements between a departure and arrival body. Integration of the Applied Research Laboratory Trade Space Visualizer software permits a mission designer to visually inspect the multi-dimensional trade space and investigate regions of feasible trajectories.
