LUMIO Phase B weak stability boundary transfers

The Lunar Meteoroid Impacts Observer (LUMIO) is a 12U-XL cislunar CubeSat. LUMIO shall observe, quantify, and characterize meteoroid impacts on the lunar farside by detecting their flashes, complementing Earth-based observations. The Phase B of the mission, funded by ESA under the General Support Technology Programme (GSTP), through the support of the national delegation of Italy (ASI) and Norway (NOSA), kicked off in September 2022 and successfully ended in October 2023. During the Phase B, weak stability boundary (WSB) transfers have been selected as baseline solution for LUMIO to reach the operational halo orbit after a release by a mothercraft of a translunar trajectory.

This dataset has been created to store some possible transfers from the Earth to the operational quasi-halo orbit computed during the Phase B.

The dataset is made of two items:

A compressed folder containing 52 different plain text files. Each file contain a transfer for each week of year 2027;

A SPK SPICE kernel ('LUMIO_WSBTranfer_Example.bsp'), containing the transfer of week 20 and its associated operational orbit. The kernels covers LUMIO trajectory from release (20 MAY 2027) to the end of the operational phase (24 AUG 2028). LUMIO SPICE ID is -1000009.
