Add to ORKGThe well established technique of V-infinity leveraging is applied to the phase-fixed planetary moon tour problem, and a global analysis of the related design space is performed using an automated pathfinding technique. Resonance hopping transfers between two circular, coplanar moons of a common planet are designed using series of alternating V-infinity leveraging maneuvers and zero-point patched conic gravity assists. When this technique is combined with an efficient global search based on Bellman’s Principle, the end result is an exhaustive set of fuel and time optimal trajectories between the two moons in question. The associated Pareto front of solutions represents the classic fuel versus flight time trade study sought in preliminary mi...
