Abstract

The asteroid exploration opportunities are searched and calculated with launch dates in 2006 to 2010, and with asteroid Ivar 1627 as the target, the spacecraft and its subsystems are designed and analyzed, and the transfer trajectory is designed by Δ VEGA technology for the asteroid rendezvous. The design results satisfies the energy requirements for small explorers.
