Towards Moon to Mars flight demonstration trajectory synthesis, CubeSat design and navigation payload validation

This project performs further study of a novel low energy transfer trajectory sequence developed by the investigators from the Lunar gateway to a candidate deep space port (guidance), develops the design of a 12U CubeSat useful for its demonstration and performs laboratory validation of the CubeSats two novel deep-space positioning payloads (navigation). This helps aim towards a launch to demonstrate Australian capability and establish participation in activities beyond the Artemis initiatives.
