Nechvile-Transformed Spacecraft Dynamics and Propellant Computation in the 3-Body Problem
Michael J. Dixon, Isaac M. Ross
The uncontrolled equations of motion in the Nechvile frame for the restricted three-body problem have been well-known since at least the 1960s. It would seem that adding an externa…

Universal Birkhoff Method for Computing Extremals in the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem
Michael J. Dixon, Isaac M. Ross
The computation of finite-thrust extremal arcs in the elliptic restricted three-body trajectory optimization problem is considered. Libration-point orbits are approximated to near-…
