✦ Synopsis

Genetic algorithms have gained popularity as eective search procedures for obtaining solutions to traditionally dicult space mission optimization problems. In this paper, a hybrid optimization method is described that integrates a multi-objective genetic algorithm with a calculus-of-variations-based low-thrust trajectory optimizer. Fronts of Pareto optimal trajectories are generated and novel trajectories identi®ed for both Earth±Mars and Earth±Mercury missions.

## Abstract Spiral, radial, and other nonrectilinear __k‐__space trajectories are an area of active research in MRI due largely to their typically rapid acquisition times and benign artifact patterns. Trajectory design has commonly proceeded from a description of a simple shape to an investigation
