N2 - One of the less delta V earth-moon transfer trajectories is achieved by using lunar gravity capture. However, whether S/C is captured by the moon or not depends on how the S/C approaches the moon. This paper presents how the chance of gravity capture is expanded using the solar tidal force and low thrust propulsion.
