Existence of Ballistic Capture Transfer Trajectories from Trans-Lunar Injection to Lunar Polar Orbit for all Lunar Phases at Time of Departure

Genova, Anthony Lawrence (2020-12)

This dissertation reveals several families of trajectories that can reduce the change in velocity(ΔV) required to transfer from trans-lunar injection (TLI) to a lunar polar circular orbit with 100 km altitude by up to 26.5% ...
