>What if a spacecraft could cycle between Earth and Moon orbits, performing multiple circuits of each, naturally and indefinitely, with zero propulsion?
>We’ve discovered a new class of stable, prograde, low-energy cycler orbits that do just that.
>Why these orbits matter:
>Ballistic fuel-free
>Stable long-term ready
>Near-chaotic agile with low ΔV
>Low-energy access to Earth/Moon, Lagrange points, Sun–Earth L1/L2, even heliocentric space
>
>At the AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialist Conference in Boston next week, I’ll present on a new family of ballistic Earth-Moon cycler orbits that are stable, prograde, and mission agile—unlike any cyclers in the current literature.
