A selection of lunar return trajectories is examined and assessed in terms of payload mass, vehicle mass, mission time, mission complexity, and total delta-V using a range of assumptions for the mission design based on historical precedence and near-future vehicle availability. Direct surface return trajectories using a single burn solution are compared with a range of Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit return and Ballistic Return Trajectories. This study weighs anticipated mission needs, requirements and constraints with the aim of assessing the feasibility of commercial lunar cargo and/or sample return options utilizing NASA’s Gateway and Deep Space Logistics project.
