The influence of Moon gravitation onto the multi-orbital transfers to the geostationary orbit of the spacecraft with low thrust

R. Z. Akhmetshin


Abstract: Some trajectories of the multi-orbital transfers to the geostationary orbit are considered and two models of spacecraft motion are compared. The first one is the flight in the central Newtonian field, and the next one — with additional influence of the Moon gravitation.

Keywords: spacecraft, low thrust, multi-orbital transfers, geostationary orbit, gravitational perturbation, Moon.
