UZB 461E - Lunar Mission Trajectories

Course Objectives

To introduce the methods in Astrodynamics for calculations of the trajectories from Earth to Moon to the Astronautical Engineering students. The trajectories will include paths from Earth to prospective Lunar Gateway Station, orbits around the Moon for different purposes and to the Moon’s surface and low thrust unmanned mission trajectories.
