Question

Asteroid Ida is in a close-to-circular orbit about the Sun at a radius of 2.86 DU and roughly coplanar with Earth. (1 DU is the average radius of Earth’s orbit, i.e. 1 DU = 1 AU). What is the minimum amount of time that would be necessary for a round-trip mining mission to Ida based on a Hohmann transfer.
