The trajectory design for the Dark Ages Radio Explorer (DARE) mission concept involves dropping the DARE spacecraft off in a generalized geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) as a secondary payload. From GTO, the spacecraft is then required to enter a near-equatorial lunar orbit that is stable (i.e., no station-keeping maneuvers are required) and yields the required number of cumulative hours (1,000) for science measurements while in the lunar farside radio quiet cone over a span of three years. Preliminary and expected results of the corresponding trajectory design are presented herein.
