      Surely though by far the greatest proportion of overall cost is getting the mass off the Earth in the first place. As a percentage this has got to be peanuts right?

      So it’s more or less an Aldrin cycler trajectory for travelling between Earth and the Moon?

      That would be very useful for unmanned trips to the Moon; I’m a little confused about how long it will take, relative to a conventional „route;“ can anyone clarify?

      Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

      uhhhhh……where was it hiding? i mean, i look up and it’s pretty much right there guys.

      They found a shortcut through studio 7? /j

      The sad thing is probably how many people would believe that version…

      „it’s some sort of stairway, however it appears to have been unused for some time now, so we just pointed it at the moon and here we are.“

      The other thing that’s cool about this trajectory is that it’s very close to a free-return trajectory at the start. So you could plan your TLI burn to put you into a free return, and then later commit to this insertion with only a very small correction burn.

      Artemis II traveled an average of 9,835 m/s on its recent trip. From what I gather it can make the trip an additional 60m/s faster with the same amount of fuel. Am I interpreting this correctly?

    16. DaryltheRigger on

      I think there’s a stargate buried in Antarctica that could shorten it even further.

    17. Economy_Link4609 on

      Why can’t we provide useful context in articles like this? I actually clicked the link buried in the end of the article to the actual paper.

      This is saving 60 m/s in delta-v using a 31 day transfer to lunar orbit for the comparison. (Comparing their new route to a 31 day standard „three body“ route).

      It’s not magically hidden, just able to be more quickly found thanks to computing techniques. Basically a transfer into an orbit around L1, then transfer from that to the moon from there.

      Damn! Gas prices are so high even the astronauts are trying to up their MPGs.

    19. cheetuzz on

      from a layman’s perspective, this reminds me of the Fosbury Flop technique for high jump. Seems counter-intuitive at first.

      > The researchers found that, instead of using the branch of the lunar-orbit variate closest to Earth, it’s better to enter that variate from the opposite side.
