AbstractThis paper analyses the motion of a space vehicle which starts from the equilateral libration points of the Earth-Moon system to its orbit in a prescribed time.Considering the vehicle position at the end of the evolution time as being unspecified, the trajectory of the space vehicle is determined so that its final speed is maximized.The results are shown in a numerical application.
