Guidelines for fuel-efficient mission profile design of the Man-Tended Free Flyer (MTFF) are presented. It is assumed the MTFF is co-orbiting with the U.S. Space Station (USSS). After a 6 month coasting phase (micro-g environment) the MTFF has to return to the USSS for servicing. The relative motion of the MTFF with respect to the USSS is characterized as boomerang-motion. Collision avoidance, entry risk at low altitude boomerangs, and abort of the boomerang are discussed.
