Free return trajectories in earth-Mars mission opportunities between 2000 and 2020 are identified and tradeoffs in mission design involving such trajectories are considered. A method of searching for trajectories containing no deterministic maneuvers is developed which is suitable for generating contours. Sample contours are presented for the trajectories and are used to show the variations in trajectory parameters found in the real world.
