Lunar Trajectories

Summary:Two lunar trajectories. This data is for amusement only and does not represent any actual spaceflight trajectories!
Description:This add-on supplies two lunar trajectories:
1) Earth parking orbit with TLI burn for lunar free return to Earth.
2) Near moon mid-course correction burn and LOI circularization burn.

The lunar free return trajectory starts on 7-1-2005 at 12:00:00 UTC. A Trans-Lunar Injection burn sends spacecraft from Earth parking orbit to the moon on a free return trajectory.

The Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) trajectory starts on 7-3-2005 at 22:14:41.8 UTC ~ 15 hrs to perilune. A mid-course correction burn is performed to lower the perilune altitude from ~300 nm to 60 nm. Near perilune a circularization burn is performed to
capture into a 60 nm lunar orbit.

Please note that this add-on requires an apollo.3ds file in your Celestia\models directory in order to be of any use. You can find one HERE.

Please see the ApolloFreeReturn_info.txt file within this Zip-file for more information.
