Basically a vehicle/space station(s) that continually orbit between the Sun and Jupiter.

An interesting idea, but I would think arranging an "orbit" that would consistently loop around both the Sun AND Jupiter sounds a bit difficult to arrange. Perhaps others here have some thoughts....

Thanks for the reply! I tested the concept on a simulator and had it up to 4 complete orbits before having to correct the trajectory.
