Summary of Thrust Requirements for Launch into Various Orbits in Cislunar Space.
Abstract
The total velocity requirements, from a parking orbit, for launches into various orbits in cislunar space are determined. The parking orbit is a 100 n.mi. altitude circular orbit inclined 30 degrees to the equator. Three different situations are used: (1) A Hohmann transfer to a circular orbit at the same inclination; (2) A two burn optimal transfer to a circular equatorial orbit; (3) A three burn non-optimal transfer to an equatorial orbit. Also presented are the delta V requirements to transfer to a coplanar eccentric orbit of 300 n.m. at perigee and variable apogee. (Author)
