LUNAR FLIGHT HANDBOOK - NASA SP-34 Part1

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19630011224_1963011224.pdf

Once Upon A Time, A Long, Long Ago, there was a plan to send spacecraft
to a body far, far, away.
Well, maybe just next door, but far away just the same.

How to send spacecraft to a body never visited before, that is the big
question.

The document listed above has a lot of background information on
planning a flight to the Moon.

This handbook has been produced by the Space Systems Division of
the Martin Company under contract NAS8-5031 with the George C. Marshall
Space Flight Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The Lunar Flight Handbook is considered the second in a series of
volumes by various contractors, sponsored by MSFC, treating the dynamics
of space flight in a variety of aspects of interest to the mission
designer and evaluator. The primary purpose of these books is to serve
as a basic tool in preliminary mission planning. In condensed form they
provide background data and material collected through several years of
intensive studies in each space mission area, such as earth orbital
flight, lunar flight, and interplanetary flight.
Volume II, the present volume, is concerned with lunar missions.
The volume consists of three parts presented in three separate booEs.
The parts are:
Part i - Background Material
Part 2 - Lunar Mission Phases
Part 3 - Mission Planning

I am trying to look through it to get a better understanding of what it
takes to map out your trajectories from Earth to Moon but the math is
beyond me.
If you like that sort of thing you may find the pdf file most interesting.

I have a hard copy of Part 1, that back when it was printed you could
get from the Government Printing Office for $1.00.
Maybe I will find in some box in the garage Part 2 and Part 3.

Thanks for looking up with me.
