Abstract
The present study globally searches for low-thrust transfers to the Moon in the planar, circular, restricted, three-body problem. To reduce the dimensionality of parameters for determining initial costates, we narrow down candidates of solutions to those satisfying the necessary conditions for optimality based on the indirect method and use an analogy with the two-body dynamics for the initial periodic orbit around the Earth. We obtain a wide range of Pareto solutions in terms of time of flight and mass consumption. Several solutions exploit resonant lunar gravity assists to reduce fuel consumption.
