At the present time, new technologies are under study for the better use of electric propulsion system in deep space missions. In the present paper, the method of the transporting trajectory is used to study this problem. This approximated method for the flight optimization with power-limited low thrust is based on the linearization of the motion of a spacecraft near a keplerian orbit that is close to the transfer trajectory. With the goal of maximizing the mass to be delivered in Saturn, several transfers were studied using nuclear, radioisotopic and solar electric propulsion systems. %@area ETES %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@documentstage not transferred %K electric propulsion system, space missions, Saturn. %@archivingpolicy denypublisher allowfinaldraft %@doi 10.1155/2009/756037 %@issn 1024-123X %@issn 1563-5147 %@group DMC-ETE-INPE-MCT-BR %@group DMC-ETE-INPE-MCT-BR %@dissemination WEBSCI %P 14 pp %A Solorzano, Carlos Renato Huaura, %A Prado, Antonio Fernando Bertachini de Almeida, %A Sukhanov, Alexander Alexandrovich, %B Mathematical Problems in Engineering %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/12.17.14.00.56 %@secondarytype PRE PI
