Abstract:
The practically useful algorithm for construction of the return trajectory from the lunar parking orbit to the Earth's atmosphere reentry point using three-impulse maneuvering scheme for the three-body problem (the Earth, the Moon, the spacecraft) under non-central gravity field is presented. The algorithm provides fulfillment of the boundary conditions at the Earth's atmosphere reentry point.
Keywords:return trajectory, multi-impulse transfer sequence, Battin's formulation of the Lambert problem.
