Lunar Browser trajectory toolThe Lunar Browser is a tool developed at NASA Ames Research Center for building, processing, and analyzing a database of lunar transfer trajectory solutions. Examples of intended uses include design trades for lunar missions and preliminary assessments of key parameters such as launch opportunities, delta-v and propulsion budgets, communication windows, eclipse durations, and lunar landing windows. The Lunar Browser tool is in the development phase and it is already producing results in its current form to address various NASA program requirements, proposals, and mission trajectories. The tool has also been used for research analysis in trajectory design, including a first publication regarding its application to the CLPS and Artemis programs. In particular, the results included transfers to lunar frozen orbits. Future work include the generation of more trajectories to expand the existing database and the optimization of the results.
