The phasing problem for sun-earth halo orbit to lunar encounter transfers
The phasing problem for sun-earth halo orbit to lunar encounter transfers
Halo orbit missions are of many applications and become popular. An investigation on the extended mission following halo orbit missions would be worthwhile. In a previous study, the strategy of using the unstable manifolds associated with the Sun-Earth L-1/L-2 halo orbit and lunar gravity assists for Earth escape was analyzed to be advantageous for extending the mission. However, in an extension mission where the halo orbit mission is not pre-phased for a lunar swingby, the fuel cost for phasing the halo-to-Moon transfers should be investigated. The current paper aims to give the insight of the minimum phasing AV to encounter the Moon for various lunar phases with respect to the halo orbit. Efforts are made to tackle the problem of multiple optimization directions. The phasing planning is briefly discussed as well.

Abstract
Halo orbit missions are of many applications and become popular. An investigation on the extended mission following halo orbit missions would be worthwhile. In a previous study, the strategy of using the unstable manifolds associated with the Sun-Earth L-1/L-2 halo orbit and lunar gravity assists for Earth escape was analyzed to be advantageous for extending the mission. However, in an extension mission where the halo orbit mission is not pre-phased for a lunar swingby, the fuel cost for phasing the halo-to-Moon transfers should be investigated. The current paper aims to give the insight of the minimum phasing AV to encounter the Moon for various lunar phases with respect to the halo orbit. Efforts are made to tackle the problem of multiple optimization directions. The phasing planning is briefly discussed as well.
