Hohmann Transfer Orbit Opportunity Itinerary

This topic is offered for NewMars members who might wish to keep up with plans for launches to Mars, based upon the opportunity to take advantage of the Hohmann Transfer Orbit between Earth and Mars.

These launch opportunities occur approximately every two years, and the next one is coming up in October of 2024

This topic is available for reports of any plans to catch the window in October of 2024.

Time is getting ** really ** short for any new initiative.

A balloon experiment could be flown this cycle, if an existing launch plan can accept the additional burden.

That burden would include the mass of the experiment, the costs of integration, and the challenges of integration of a new experiment into an existing plan.
