Abstract
Recently, NASA has announced a change of philosophy toward smaller, faster spacecraft. A notable example of the new philosophy are plans for a Pluto fast flyby mission, involving a 150 kg spacecraft which can reach Pluto in about 7 years. In this paper, automated software is used to investigate multiple-encounter missions to the outer planets which can also be flown by the Pluto fast flyby spacecraft. A particularly important result of this analysis is the discovery of a three-planet opportunity with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
