Comparison conjunction and opposite mission type:
| Mission type [1] | Total mission duration, days | Earth-Mars trip, days | Time spent at destination | Mars-Earth trip, days | Total ∆V, km/s | Trans-Mars Injection, km/s | Mars Orbital Insertion, km/s | Trans-Earth Injection, km/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conjuction | 10005 | 198 | 558 | 197 | 2.81 | 0.50 | 1.25 | 1.06 |
| Opposition | 560 | 177 | 40 | 342 | 5.69 | 0.61 | 1.75 | 3.33 |
Examples of the near future missions opportunities
Mars short-stay (opposition) mission:
| Departure Date [2] | Mission Duration (years) | Time spent at destination | Injection (C3/∆v), km/s | Post-escape ∆v, km/s | Destination Aerocapture (∆V/Inertial), km/s | Earth Aerocapture (∆V/Inertial), km/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19-Jul-2020 | 1.50 | 1 month | 14.5/3.87 | 2.80 | 1.41/6.2 | 0.86/11.8 |
| 22-Oct-2021 | 1.39 | 1 month | 14.4/3.86 | 2.80 | 3.48/8.2 | 0.47/11.4 |
| 14-Sep-2023 | 1.64 | 1 month | 25.7/4.34 | 0.99 | 3.29/8.0 | 0.48/11.4 |
Mars long-stay (conjunction) mission:
| Departure Date [2] | Mission Duration (years) | Time spent at destination | Injection (C3/∆v), km/s | Post-escape ∆v, km/s | Destination Aerocapture (∆V/Inertial), km/s | Earth Aerocapture (∆V/Inertial), km/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
