text: STARDUST's seven-year, three-loop, EGA (Earth gravity assist) trajectory was designed (1) to fly by Wild 2 at a low velocity while it is active, (2) to maximize the time for favorable collection of interstellar dust, (3) to minimize the C3 (escape energy from Earth) and delta V requirements for the mission so that a smaller launch vehicle could be used, and (4) to have a low velocity relative to Earth upon return.
