TARGETING LOW-ENERGY TRANSFERS TO LOW LUNAR ORBIT

摘要

A targeting scheme is presented to build trajectories from a specified Earthparking orbit to a specified low lunar orbit via a low-energy transfer and up totwo maneuvers. The total transfer onV is characterized as a function of theEarth parking orbit inclination and the departure date for transfers to eachgiven low lunar orbit. The transfer onV cost is characterized for transfers constructedto low lunar polar orbits with any longitude of ascending node and fortransfers that arrive at the Moon at any given time during a month.
