This team has experience mainly with local trajectory optimisation techniques. It selected the planetary sequence by means of experience, intuition and the results of separate optimisation of shorter legs; the coast-thrust structure was found using Pontryagin's maximum principle. An EVVJA sequence was tried and optimised locally converging to the locally optimal solution visualized on the left. The team could not apply their automatic global search strategy as it is currently implemented only for problems with a complex structure but a limited number of flybys.
