Abstract
This presentation describes the mission design of DESTINY (Demonstration and Experiment of Space Technology for INterplanetary voYage) planned by the Japanese space agency JAXA. The spacecraft will increase its apogee altitude from a highly elliptical orbit to a lunar encounter using low thrust and will go to a Sun-Earth L2 halo orbit using a lunar swing-by.
