In September 2004, the Genesis spacecraft will return to Earth with its collection of solar wind samples. If for some reason there are any difficulties with returning the samples to Earth during the nominal entry sequence, a contingency plan is in place for a second chance at a successful recovery. This paper will detail the processes used to generate possible backup trajectories, and provide a comparison of the contingency options examined through the course of the study.
