Rigorous Science

If I launched a nuclear pulse fission spacecraft to the specified destinations, what would be a good launch window and how long to arrive?

+0
−0

I ask because I have a problem trying to find an appropriate launch window around that time or any point in the mid-1980s, and I need to reach Jupiter via Hohmann transfer so I can then use a series of Oberth manoeuvres to get to Pluto from there, with my nuclear spacecraft having a delta v of 100 km/s. Problem? The launch window and time it will take before the spacecraft can reach Jupiter, and get to Pluto from there.

So, how long would it take to reach Jupiter and get to Pluto from there and the other gas giants via Oberth Manouevre, and what would be an appropriate launch window?

And this is a combat operation so..........yes.
