摘要
According to arcs that belong to the generating orbit of the second species and direction of motion, five types of period orbits are designed by patched conic technique based on planar circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) model. Characteristics of five types of period orbits are analyzed from the aspects of period time, perigee distance, perilune distance, the speed of rendezvous and docking, as well as stability of the orbits. A proper type of orbits is selected for the mission considering the engineering constraints of cycler architecture. Then the cycler orbit selected from the proper type is optimized to meet the requirements of the mission. This study and survey about cycler orbits in the Earth-Moon system could provide a new insight into and reference for the manned lunar landing project of China in future. ©, 2015, AAAS Press of Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
