The ability to reduce the cost of space missions beyond Earth orbit by leveraging innovative concepts is of great interest in the field of spaceflight. In this paper, the trajectory design for a mission from an inclined geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) to an Earth-Moon L2 Halo orbit is presented. The mission scenario for this investigation involves the use of a small satellite launched in a rideshare configuration and the use of a low-energy transfer to reach the target orbit. As a consequence of choosing a rideshare launch, the mission scenario entails critical uncertainties on the time of launch and injection parameters of the spacecraft, which could complicate the insertion into a low-energy transfer. Thus, the goal of the project is to develop a robust design methodology to deal with the launch uncertainties and assess launch readiness at any time of the year.
