Optimal Time-Fixed Impulsive non-Keplerian Orbit to Orbit Transfer

Abstract The work proposes a systematic method to compute an optimal transfer trajectory between two non-Keplerian halo orbits in the Circular Restricted Three body formulation of the Earth-Moon dynamics. The paper exploits the knowledge of the natural non-linear dynamics and the primer vector theory applied to the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem to design optimal Halo-to-Halo transfers with fixed and limited, compared with the rest of the literature, Time of flight, from every point of the departure orbit to every point of the arrival orbit. With the goal
