Optimization and Characterization of Chance-Constrained Guidance, Navigation, and Control for Low-Energy Lunar Transfers

Low-energy transfers utilizing multi-body dynamics show great promise for future space exploration; in regions with multiple dominant gravitating bodies (for example, in the Earth-Moon system or among the gas giant moons) they can offer reduced capture Δv, more flexible launch windows, and an increa...
