This project introduces the method of designing an interplanetary mission to Pluto and exhibits the near-future mission design. It determines the possible launch dates and the corresponding arrival dates to reach Pluto with the gravity assist at Jupiter. Also, it analyzes the orbit at Pluto-Charon system where Charon, one of the moons around Pluto, perturbs the spacecraft’s trajectory by its gravitational potential.
