A Sun–Earth stable manifold-based method for designing planar two-impulse Earth–Moon
transfer trajectories is proposed in this paper. In this method, stable manifolds associated …

This paper investigates the energy change of the two-impulse Earth-Moon trajectory in the
Sun-Earth-Moon bicircular model analytically. An analytic expression is first derived to …

The present work formulates an orbital transfer for an Earth-to-Earth mission between non
coplanar orbits with different altitudes with a special feature: the occurrence of a lunar flyby …

This work proposes an alternative method for solving the two-point boundary value problem
concerning to Earth-Moon bi-impulsive trajectories in the dynamics of the planar bi-circular …

This work describes several models to design optimal interplanetary trajectories. The
transfer problem consists in transferring a space vehicle from a circular low Earth orbit (LEO) …

The present work quantifies the fuel consumption of a space vehicle in bi-impulsive
interplanetary trajectories with an intermediary swing-by maneuver with the Moon. In this …

In this work, a study about minimum fuel trajectories in a round trip journey to the Moon is
presented. It is assumed that the velocity changes are instantaneous, that is, the propulsion …

This work extends the classic lunar patched-conic approximation model for Earth–Moon
transfers by adding two complexities: the eccentricity of the Moon's orbit around Earth and …

In this paper, a preliminary study of optimal round-trip trajectories for Earth–Moon–Earth
missions is presented. The outgoing mission consists in transferring a space vehicle from a …

A study of Earth–Moon bi-impulsive trajectories is presented in this paper. The motion of the
space vehicle is described by the classic planar circular restricted three-body problem. The …
