What is the most fuel efficient method of sending the


A satellite already in the Earth's heliocentric orbit can fire its engines only once. What is the most fuel efficient method of sending the satellite on a ‘flyby' visit to another planet? The satellite can visit either Mars or Venus.

Which trip would use less fuel? Which trip would take the shorter time? [The orbits of Mars and Venus have radii 1.524 AU and 0.723 AU respectively.]
