Abstract
While low-thrust electric propulsion (EP) enables interplanetary missions to deliver larger payload fractions, the orbit insertion phase often necessitates a large, instantaneous ΔV maneuver, rendering it difficult to be conducted by an EP system alone. In contrast, missions to libration point orbits (LPO) may leverage ballistic capture strategies, resulting in no instantaneous ΔV maneuvers required. This work presents a modification to the Sims-Flanagan Transcription for interplanetary low-thrust trajectory design arriving at LPOs by incorporating flexible arrival into an insertion point on their stable manifolds.
