title = "Targeting the martian moons via direct insertion into mars-orbit",
abstract = "Here, we analyze interplanetary transfer maneuvers from Earth to Mars in order to target the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos. Such analysis is done by solving Lambert's Problem and investigating the necessary targeting upon arrival at Mars. Additionally, the orbital parameters of the arrival trajectories as well as the relative required Δv's and times of flight were determined in order to define the optimal departure and arrival windows for a given range of dates. It was found that minimum Δv trajectories for Earth-Phobos and Earth-Deimos transfers do not necessarily occur when Δv for Earth-Mars transfers is minimized, but they depend on the orientation of the arrival orbit and the type of maneuver that is performed to rendezvous with one of the Martian moons.",
