| Abstract | This paper describes solutions to the lunar Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) rendezvous in terms of trajectory and launch window design. Our study is motivated by the future potential to construct a new space station or fuel refilling ports in the Earth-Moon neighborhood. A DRO, which has a long-term stability, is a possible candidate for the orbit in which such habitable structures are located. Since these structures have to rendezvous with visiting vehicles from Low Earth Orbit (LEO), it is valuable to investigate rendezvous technology in DROs. Our current study is focused on designing rendezvous trajectories which require reasonable operational cost, such as delta-v and flight time. Launch window analysis derived from trajectory design is also within the scope of this paper. We applied a three-impulse transfer with retrograde powered lunar gravity assist, and examined the total delta-v and flight time required to transfer from LEO to various phase points in a certain DRO. The results showed how a certain region where the ΔV cost is low exists, and the flight time varies considerably according to the rendezvous point. We proposed an applicable launch window with these features in mind. We also conducted a case study to evaluate delta-v and the flight time required for rendezvous after the visiting vehicle is inserted into the DRO at a certain distance from the station. The result showed the potential to widen the option to rendezvous. In our study, trajectories are computed using Systems Tool Kit (STK) / Astrogator software module. Unlike a Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) model, STK/Astrogator employs various force models and accurately integrates trajectories, which enables more realistic operation scenarios to be discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
