Analysis of trajectories between Earth and Moon requires assessment of flight mechanical features of field of transits; survey of Earth-Moon trajectories using restricted 3-body problem; coordinate Moon-Earth-Plane MEP system is introduced in which field of transit is stationary; field of transits generated by combining individual transits to families or subclasses and using these as building blocks for constructing successively classes of increasing order; establishment of time of transit between terminals, altitude of perigee, and altitude of perisel; examples of transit classes; problems of launch feasibility and launch window.
