Grid Scan on Poincaré Section
Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Definition
A systematic method that discretizes feasible initial conditions on a Poincaré section into a dense grid, integrates each point forward, and classifies the resulting trajectories by behavior (capture, escape, collision). Compared with the traditional single-point search, this approach reveals the full landscape of orbital behaviors and automatically filters solutions meeting mission design requirements.
Application Value
This concept plays an important role in cislunar space orbit design and optimization, providing theoretical support for orbital transfer and station-keeping operations.
