This paper describes trajectory calculations for high specific impulse engines. Specific impulses on the order of 10,000 to 100,000 sec are predicted in a variety of fusion powered propulsion systems. This paper and its companion paper seek to build on analyses in the literature to yield an analytical routine for determining time of flight and payload fraction to a predetermined destination. The companion paper will compare the results of this analysis to the trajectories determined by several trajectory codes. The major parameters that affect time of flight and payload fraction will be identified and their sensitivities quantified. A review of existing fusion propulsion concepts and their capabilities will also be tabulated.
