Low-Energy Lunar Trajectory Design

Beschreibung

Based on years of research conducted at the NASA Jet PropulsionLaboratory, Low-Energy Lunar Trajectory Design provideshigh-level information to mission managers and detailed informationto mission designers about low-energy transfers between Earth andthe moon. The book answers high-level questions about theavailability and performance of such transfers in any given monthand year. Low-energy lunar transfers are compared with variousother types of transfers, and placed within the context ofhistorical missions. Using this book, designers may reconstruct any transferdescribed therein, as well as design similar transfers withparticular design parameters. An Appendix, "Locating the Lagrange Points," and auseful list of terms and constants completes this technicalreference. * Surveys thousands of possible trajectories that may be used totransfer spacecraft between Earth and the moon, including transfersto lunar libration orbits, low lunar orbits, and the lunarsurface * Provides information about the methods, models, and tools usedto design low-energy lunar transfers * Includes discussion about the variations of these transfersfrom one month to the next, and the important operational aspectsof implementing a low-energy lunar transfer * Additional discussions address navigation, station-keeping, andspacecraft systems issues
