According to scientists, the flight to Mars via Venus will be more optimal than to the Red planet directly. As noted in a research report on this subject, this maneuver will save time and fuel during the flight to Mars.
Settlements were made by the group of physicists and engineers under the direction of Noam Izenberg from Johns Hopkins University.
To astronauts to get to Mars directly, you need to Land came to him as close as possible, which is called confrontation, and this happens every 26 months. In a gravitational maneuver at Venus ‘ opposition of the planets would occur every 19 months, so it will be possible to send mission to Mars often.
Gravitational maneuvers are used for acceleration and automatic interplanetary stations be sent to the distant objects of the Solar system, without them the majority of flights possible.
Also mission to Mars via Venus will allow you to explore two of the planet, as astronauts will be able to control it sent to the spacecraft in real time.
however, warn researchers in this trajectory, the participants will be exposed to a stronger radiation than usual during the flight to Mars.
