The present study globally searches for two-impulse, low-energy transfers to the Moon in the planar bicircular restricted four-body problem with transfer time up to 200 days. A grid search combined with a direct transcription and multiple shooting technique reveals numerous families of optimal low-energy solutions. We investigate a trade-off between transfer time and ΔV by exploring Pareto–optimal solutions. Analyzing orbital characteristics based on multi–body dynamics, we show useful perturbations of the Sun, Earth, and Moon to reduce ΔV.

Abstract
The present study globally searches for two-impulse, low-energy transfers to the Moon in the planar bicircular restricted four-body problem with transfer time up to 200 days. A grid search combined with a direct transcription and multiple shooting technique reveals numerous families of optimal low-energy solutions. We investigate a trade-off between transfer time and ΔV by exploring Pareto–optimal solutions. Analyzing orbital characteristics based on multi–body dynamics, we show useful perturbations of the Sun, Earth, and Moon to reduce ΔV.File in questo prodotto:
