Popis: Future exploration and exploitation of Jovian system is expected. Establishment of an outpost in Jovian system will ensure maximum benefit of the exploration with capability for extending the exploration to outer solar system and beyond. Outpost base around Callisto is tentatively selected to avoid the Jupiter's main radiation belt. Since multiple missions are required for the outpost establishment, the establishment trajectories must be optimized. Multiple gravity assists or low thrust propulsion is expected to be employed for the Jupiter en route trajectory. Braking using a Galilean moon prior to Jupiter insertion, followed by multiple Galilean moons resonance hopping for step by step apojove reduction are assumed to be taken as Callisto en route trajectory. This approach already save much Delta V compare to a direct trajectory scenario, but still leave a quite big Delta V for final orbit insertion. Final approach to Callisto along a trajectory on the weak stability boundary of Callisto with respect to Jupiter is examined. Numerical study of Callisto ballistic capture linked to an arriving joviocentric trajectory, with and without other Galilean moons effect, is performed for construction of an optimum final insertion maneuver.
