Abstract

We explore the mission and navigation designs of trajectories generated using a high fidelity model in the Sun-Earth system to study the Sun. A detailed examination of selected end-to-end trajectories is described from the science point of view. The geometry of the Trojan orbits around L4 and L5 is analyzed as potential precursor orbits to perform scientific observations at a triangular point. The corresponding trajectory correction maneuvers and orbit determination for both transfer and Trojan orbits are obtained and compared with previous results.
