Abstract
In recent years, the next declared goal of the human race is landing on Martian soil and, in view of this, the roadmap to Mars envisages, as an intermediate step, the creation of a Moon Village in order to accumulate experience of extraterrestrial life, improving the technological and generation capabilities of energy sources outside our Earth. In light of this, the study carried out within this research work tries to explore possible ways for future unmanned supply missions to the Martian soil both in preparation for subsequent human exploration and for the creation of a possible Mars Village. Therefore, this paper presents a minimum propellant study for an interplanetary trajectory from the Moon to Mars, focusing on exploiting Weak Stability Boundary (WBS) trajectories.
The mission assumptions at departure include impulsive manoeuvres, N bodies perturbation, and JPL’s DE440 ephemerides for the Moon and other celestial bodies position at epoch
