TRANSFERS BETWEEN INTERSECTING QUASI-PERIODIC TORI

Over the past decade, missions which exploit dynamical features of the Earth-Moon system have garnered significant interest. The most abundant feature in these three-body systems are quasi-periodic tori (QPTs), making them prime candidates for mission operations. In this work, transfers between QPTs which intersect in position space will be investigated. To this end, a methodology for determining where a pair of QPTs intersect and the maneuver that would allow for a transfer between them has been developed. These constraints motivated a predictor-corrector algorithm for computing the continuum of points where these multi-dimensional objects intersect. This numerical procedure has been used to identify intersecting trajectories on Lissajous and quasi-halo orbits, allowing for a single impulsive maneuver to be used to transfer between them.
