Lunar injection conditions that are required to establish Earth-return trajectories satisfying specified reentry conditions are presented; it is assumed that return trajectory is initiated either from circular lunar orbit having arbitrary inclination and nodal position with respect to Earth-Moon plane or from arbitrary position on lunar surface; in latter case, it is further assumed that lunar parking orbit is established prior to injection.
