In this page, we make available the pdf files of the papers written for the GTOC9 special session at the 2017 Joint ISSFD/ISTS/NSAT conference in June 2017 in the City of Matsuyama, Shikoku Island, Japan.
Note: at a later stage some of these papers will be submitted to the journal Acta Futura for peer-review. In their current state they have not been reviewed nor checked, since making it into the competition leaderboard provides for a rather good review already.
