Lunar Proximity

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Definition

The condition where a spacecraft performs a manifold insertion maneuver in close proximity to the Moon, resulting in minimum insertion cost and enabling low-energy transfers.

Application Value

In orbital design, analysis, and control, dynamics models are used to predict spacecraft trajectories, with equations of motion solved numerically or analytically. This concept underpins critical mission capabilities including orbital maneuver design, orbit improvement, and formation flying.
