In this paper, we describe an optimized mission design for a TANDEM-derived solar electric propulsion (SEP) mission. We have chosen the SEP mission scenario for the interplanetary transfer of the TANDEM spacecraft because all feasible gravity assist sequences for a chemical transfer between 2015 and 2025 result in long flight times of about nine years. Our SEP system is based on the German RIT ion engine. For our optimized mission design, we have extensively explored the SEP parameter space (specific impulse, thrust level, power level) and have calculated an optimal interplanetary trajectory for each setting. In contrast to the original TANDEM mission concept, which intends to use two launch vehicles and an all-chemical transfer, our SEP mission design requires only a single Ariane 5 ECA launch for the same payload mass. Without gravity assist, it yields a faster and more flexible transfer with a fight time of less than seven years, and an increased payload ratio. Our mission design proves thereby the capability of SEP even for missions into the outer solar system.}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldSchmidtSeboldtetal.2003, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Schmidt, Tanja D. and Seboldt, Wolfgang and Auweter-Kurtz,}, title = {Flight Opportunities from Mars to Earth for Piloted Missions Using Continuous Thrust Propulsion / Schmidt, Tanja D. ; Dachwald, Bernd ; Seboldt, Wolfgang ; Auweter-Kurtz, Monika}, publisher = {-}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldSeboldt2005, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Seboldt, Wolfgang}, title = {Multiple Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous and Sample Return Using First Generation Solar Sailcraft}, series = {Acta Astronautica. 57 (2005), H. 11}, journal = {Acta Astronautica. 57 (2005), H. 11}, isbn = {0094-5765}, pages = {864 -- 875}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldSeboldt2003, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Seboldt, Wolfgang}, title = {Solar sailcraft of the first generation mission applications to near-earth asteroids}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldSeboldt2005, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Seboldt, Wolfgang}, title = {Solar Sails for Near- and Medium-Term Scientific Deep Space Missions / W.
