Abstract
Asteroid exploration is one of the most sophisticated missions currently being investigated. Gravity-assist trajectories have proven valuable in interplanetary missions such as the Pioneer, Voyager and Galileo. we design interplanetary trajectory for main belt asteroid exploration mission with the Mars gravity-assist (MGA) using pork chop plots and patched-conic theory and give some initial valuable trajectory parameters on main belt asteroid exploration mission with MGA.
