Definition

An analytical tool plotting osculating orbital elements on a Poincaré section, with periapsis distance on the x-axis and apoapsis distance on the y-axis, overlaid with Tisserand parameter contours and resonance lines. It visually reveals how transfer trajectories use lunar flybys to transition between resonance bands, and is central to multi-body trajectory design.

Application Value

Tisserand-Poincaré Graph is a fundamental concept in cislunar mission design, playing an important role in orbital design and tracking planning.
