Enabling Global Lunar Access for Human Landing Systems Staged at Earth-Moon L2 Southern Near Rectilinear Halo and Butterfly Orbits
NASA's Artemis program will return astronauts to the lunar surface using a Human Landing System staged at Gateway's 9:2 L2 southern NRHO. The current study explores global lunar access for Gateway's baseline NRHO and a comparable butterfly orbit. Additionally, increasing transfer time and loitering in low lunar orbit are analyzed to reduce lunar surface access costs. The results show selecting the optimal staging orbit for a landing site, increasing transfer times, and leveraging low lunar orbit loiter greatly reduce performance requirements.
