Interplanetary Transfer Trajectories

Interplanetary Transfer Trajectories is a method in astrodynamics that enables spacecraft to travel between planets by exploiting orbital mechanics, distinguished from other orbital transfer techniques through its specific application to interplanetary space and integration of gravity-assist maneuvers and Hohmann-like transitions within heliocentric orbits.
