What is it about?
In this article we looked at possible scenarios for a flight to Sedna. What is Sedna? Sedna is a small space object (about 1000 km in diameter) with a period of 10,000 years. A study of Sedna could broaden the understanding of both Kuiper Belt objects and hypothetical Oort Cloud objects. The main goal of our work is the flight trajectories to Sedna that requires no more than 6.2 km/s for time of flight 20 years for launch in 2029.
