Opportunities Year Launch 2013 Nov 2013 Jan Jan 2016 Apr Apr 2018 May Jul 2020 Sep 2020 Mars Orbit is slightly tilted with respect to the sun-earth plane (Inclination with respect to Ecliptic is 1.85 deg). Planets appear close to the path of the sun in the sky, the ecliptic Profile o Six EBNs take the spacecraft gradually into a departure hyperbolic trajectory. S/C escapes from the Earth s Sphere Of Influence (SOI) with Earth s orbital velocity + ΔV boost. o Spacecraft leaves Earth in a direction tangential to Earth s orbit around sun. Encounters Mars tangentially to its orbit around sun. The flight path is roughly one half of an ellipse around sun. o The spacecraft arrives at Mar s SOI in a hyperbolic trajectory. When the spacecraft reaches Mars Periapsis, it is captured into the planned orbit around Mars by imparting ΔV retro. Minimum-energy launch windows for Martian expedition occurs at intervals 780 days 4
