The trajectory data are presented chronologically and are organized by holding the arrival date constant while varying the Earth departure date in increments of 10 days. Upon completion of the specified range of Earth departure dates, the arrival date is incremented and the range of departure dates is repeated. For long trip times, where the variation of the trajectory parameters is relatively small, the size of the increment of the arrival date is increased. The range of departure and arrival dates and their corresponding increments are given i n Table 4-1 for each launch opportunity. The criterion for the selection of these dates is that they encompass the region in which the Earth departure hyperbolic excess speed is less than or equal to 0.65 EMOS.
