About this document

Optimal Earth-Moon Flight Trajectories by cmpmarinho is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents an optimization study of trajectories for Earth-Moon-Earth flight. The optimization criterion is minimizing total characteristic velocity. The parameters optimized are initial phase angle, flight time, and velocity impulses at departure and arrival. Optimal trajectories were found to have a flight time of about 4.5 days, longer than the Apollo missions
