NASA's proposed mission to send a single electric propulsion spacecraft to orbit Callisto, Ganymeds, and Europa within a decade would require a very complex trajectory. Strong multi-body effects combined with low-thrust control of capture and escape will make the trajectory challenging. This paper describes an optimal trajectory that begins in low Earth orbit and ends in low Io orbit.
