Mission design of DESTINY+

Toward active asteroid (3200) Phaethon and multiple small bodies

DESTINY+ is an upcoming JAXA Epsilon medium-class mission to fly by the Geminids meteor shower parent body (3200) Phaethon. It will be the world's first spacecraft to escape from a near-geostationary transfer orbit into deep space using a low-thrust propulsion system. ...

DESTINY+ is a medium-class interplanetary mission, selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for potential launch windows in the first half of 2020s. The mission will demonstrate innovative spacecraft subsystem technologies, including a new type of ion engine for future ...
Solar electric propulsion is a key enabling technology that has improved the efficiency of space transport. With specific impulses that are typically ten times higher than the chemical counterpart, electric motors allow a considerable saving in propellant mass at the expense of l ...
DESTINY+ (Demonstration and Experiment of Space Technology for INterplanetary voYage, Phaethon fLyby and dUSt analysis) is a small-sized high-performance deep space vehicle proposed at ISAS/JAXA. The trajectory design of DESTINY+ is divided into several phas ...
