Abstract:
In this paper the orbit construction of the low energy Moon return mission is researched that is achieved by low thrust propulsion. In the elliptical four body problem, the dynamical model and the orbit energy expression of the spacecraft is given to study the characteristics of the low energy Moon return orbit that starts from lunar vicinity and connects the Earth-Moon, Earth-Sun libration point and Earth. The designing of the low thrust low energy Moon return is divided into two phases. Firstly, the nominal trajectory is designed via the patching manifolds method. Then the low thrust perilune-apolune control strategy is proposed to achieve a rapid and fuel-effectively transfer from lunar orbit to the low energy return orbit. The simulation result showed that the low thrust low energy Moon return had great advantage in fuel consumption. © 2018 IEEE.
