We consider a problem of constructing a spacecraft transfer trajectory with low cost and moderate flight time from the Earth to the Moon. We adopt the planar circular restricted three-body problem (PCR3BP) as the spacecraft model, and reduce computation of optimal transfers to a nonlinear boundary value problem (BVP). Using a computer software called AUTO, we numerically solve the nonlinear BVP and continue its solutions to obtain optimal transfers. Especially, we find a transfer trajectory having the same cost but 22% shorter flight time or having 7.5% lower cost, compared to the traditional Hohmann type transfer. Moreover, we show that these transfers are unstable in an appropriate meaning and closely relate to chaotic dynamics of the PCR3BP. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
