Keywords: With application to the specific problem of multiple gravity assist trajectory design, a deterministic search space pruning algorithm is developed that displays both polynomial time and space complexity. This is shown empirically to achieve search space reductions of greater than six orders of magnitude, thus reducing significantly the complexity of the subsequent optimisation. mission design, multiple gravity assist, global optimisation, constraint propagation, heuristic search. 1.
