This research presents a geometric analysis of Sun-assisted low-energy lunar transfers and several convenient tools that enable the systematic trajectory design in the framework of the planar bicircular restricted four-body problem. By analogy with the patched conic approximation approach for high-energy transfers, a Sun-assisted low-energy trajectory is divided into three legs. Two interior legs, departing and arriving, are located inside the Earth–Moon region of prevalence and designed in the Earth–Moon circular restricted three-body problem, whereas the exterior leg lies outside the region of prevalence and is calculated in the Earth–Moon–Sun bicircular restricted four-body model. The whole trajectory is obtained by smoothly patching the three legs on the boundary of the region of prevalence. The arrival conditions are met by targeting a specific point in the L2 lunar gateway. The interior legs are easily adjustable to the four-body dynamics. The database of planar lunar transfer trajectories can be used to select an initial guess for the multiple-shooting procedure of designing a three-dimensional Sun-assisted lunar transfer in high-fidelity dynamical models.
