Advantages of combining Jupiter swingby technique with optimized solar electric propulsion for missions to Jovian planets are evaluated; significant payload gains are achieved without sacrificing reduced trip time which results from energy gained in Jupiter encounter; of particular interest is "grand tour" to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune which is best launched in 1977; use of low-thrust propulsion on Earth-Jupiter leg of trajectory increases payload by factor of three for standard Atlas/Centaur launch vehicle.
