Definition

A numerical method that divides a transfer trajectory into forward and backward segments, integrates each separately, and matches the intermediate position to solve a double Lambert problem.

Application Value

This term在cislunar space missions中has important application value. In orbit design, it can be used foroptimizing transfer trajectories, reducing mission fuel consumption. In attitude control and dynamics analysis, it helps understandthe motion characteristics of spacecraft in complex gravitational fields, providing theoretical support for mission planning. In navigation and orbit determination, methods based on this termcan improve orbit prediction accuracy, supporting the development of autonomous navigation algorithms.
