Description: To attain the fundamental goals of cometary exploration, rendezvous and sample return missions are necessary. This paper investigates various trajectory options and provides a comprehensive set of mission opportunities available for launches in the 1990s. The modes of explorations considered are rendezvous and flybys with atomized-sample-return missions. For each type of exploration, the paper describes various classes and modes of trajectories available, their inherent characteristics, and the techniques of identifying useful trajectories. The energy requirement associated with these missions and the performance possibilities are provided.
