                         sphere of influence using solar electric propulsion is considered. 
                         The spacecraft crosses the Van Allen belts many times during the 
                         transfer, which can damage the onboard electronic equipment. The 
                         belt was modeled using discrete regions with given proton and 
                         electron fluxes and used to compute the radiation dose absorbed by 
                         the spacecraft for various transfer orbits. The final mass of the 
                         spacecraft is calculated for each transfer as well, in order to 
                         minimize fuel consumption. This estimate is done for various 
                         parking orbits and transfer times.",
