Preliminary Statistical Maneuver Analysis for A Low-Thrust NRHO to DRO Transfer
To understand practical implications of implementing transfers that leverage multibody dynamics, a statistical analysis is performed on an Earth-Moon Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) to distant retrograde orbit (DRO) transfer using solar electric propulsion. The statistical analysis includes perturbations due to maneu- ver execution and orbit determination error to understand operational character- istics of the transfer such as statistical ∆V and statistical state targeting errors at the final DRO. We explore the need for low-thrust trajectory correction maneuver (TCM) opportunities as well as the delivery accuracy to the final target. Finally, we explore options for long-term-stable target DROs.
