I am designing an Earth-Mars transfer. The launch window is 03-Jul-2026 (departure from Earth) & 22-Jun-2028 (Mars arrival).

The declination and right ascension for the departure asymptote from earth were given in NASA reports but I am not aware of any method to calculate these for arrival into Mars.

Any help would be appreciated.
