The book answers high-level questions about the availability and performance of such transfers in any given month and year. Low-energy lunar transfers are compared with various other types of transfers, and placed within the context of historical missions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing this book, designers may reconstruct any transfer described therein, as well as design similar transfers with particular design parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Appendix, “Locating the Lagrange Points,” and a useful list of terms and constants completes this technical reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurveys thousands of possible trajectories that may be used to transfer spacecraft between Earth and the moon, including transfers to lunar libration orbits, low lunar orbits, and the lunar surface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides information about the methods, models, and tools used to design low-energy lunar transfers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion about the variations of these transfers from one month to the next, and the important operational aspects of implementing a low-energy lunar transfer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional discussions address navigation, station-keeping, and spacecraft systems issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeffrey S.
