title = "Optimal Earth-Moon transfer trajectory design using mixed impulsive and continuous thrust",
abstract = "Optimal transfer trajectories based on the planar circular restricted three body problem are designed using mixed impulsive and continuous thrust. The continuous, dynamic trajectory optimization is reformulated in the form of discrete optimization problem by the method of direct transcription and collocation, and is then solved using nonlinear programming software. Two very different transfer trajectories can be obtained by different combinations of the design parameters. Furthermore, it was found that all designed trajectories permit a ballistic capture by the Moon's gravity. Finally, the required thrust profiles are presented and analyzed in detail.",
