Inclination Change

Author: Tianjiang Shuo Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

The change in the angle between the orbital plane and a reference plane. In cislunar space, the inclination of vertically stable manifolds can be significantly amplified through multiple lunar flybys, serving as the key physical mechanism for designing NRHO-to-DRO transfers using vertical instability.

Application Value

DRO以其对初始相位角不敏感的优良特性，成为地月空间任务设计中的重要参考轨道。
