Lunar Sample Return via the Interplanetary
Figure 1. The whole trajectory is shown in the Earth-Moon rotating frame. The Earth launch is in brown, the insertion into LL2 is in blue, the lander orbit to the Moon in red, and the lander return orbit is purple. The detailed plot of halo orbit about LL2 and the landing is expanded on the right si...
