A E 629 - Trajectory Design in Cislunar Space

Units: 3

Grading Method: LTR: Letter Graded. The class will be offered for letter grade with no option to take it for Cr/NC

Prerequisite(s): Classified graduate standing.

Covers fundamental topics for trajectory design in the Earth-Moon region, including modeling of the dynamical environment, how to find periodic orbits under these dynamics, and how their stability can be leveraged for mission design in an emerging cislunar economy.

Note: Course makes use of basic concepts in STEM (Calculus and Algebra). Background on Astrodynamics would be beneficial, but instructor will review any necessary material for the completion of the course.
