  3. Getting There r = 477,000 km one-day transfer lunar orbit cycler frame one hour before rendezvous DV = 284 m/s taxi V∞=5 km/s cycler V∞=5 km/s Earth DV from LEO = 4.30 km/s Damon Landau

  6. Rendezvous taxi mass = 50 mt • Begin thrusting after 23 hours. • Design for 1/2-hour settling time, z= 2, vf = 0.1 m/s • fdock = 180° • DV = 294 m/s (ideal DV = 284 m/s) • rf = 0.238 m, vf = 0.146 m/s • time to rendezvous = 4.1 hours cycler centered Earth centered Damon Landau

  7. Rendezvous taxi mass = 50 mt • Begin thrusting after 23 hours. • Design for 1/2-hour settling time, z= 2, vf = 0.1 m/s • fdock = 0° • DV = 1,837 m/s • rf = 0.600 m, vf = 0.264 m/s • time to rendezvous = 3.8 hours cycler centered Earth centered Damon Landau

  8. Departure Error taxi mass = 50 mt • DV error of 50 m/s from LEO • Begin thrusting after 23 hours. • Design for 1/2-hour settling time, z= 2, vf = 0.1 m/s • fdock = 180° • DV = 6,572 m/s • rf = 0.291 m, vf = 0.141 m/s • time to rendezvous = 5.3 hours cycler centered Earth centered Damon Landau

  9. Lower Gains cycler centered • Begin thrusting after 23 hours. • Design for 1/2-hour settling time, z= 0.8, vf = 0.1 m/s • rf = 0.002 m, vf = 83.8 m/s • Rendezvous speed is too fast • Will the speed approach zero? 1st loop GES, but not practical rf = 1 cm, vf = 1.6 cm/s Damon Landau

  10. Future (Fun)Work 3-D analysis Limit controls to thruster capabilities Include navigational errors Failure analysis Optimize for DV and time Conclusions Hyperbolic rendezvous is possible with a relatively simple controller. The DV and time for rendezvous can be similar to the ideal case. Poor choice of docking axis significantly increases DV. The state near r = 0 is more important than the response as t  ∞.
