Catalog of coast paths between Earth and Moon is presented, accounting for 3-dimensional factors but neglecting multibody effects; flight times, velocity increments, and launch azimuths for various positions of Moon and injection points in northern hemisphere; importance of account for distance covered during powered flight is shown; direct firings and orbital departures are compared; velocity increments for lunar landings and takeoffs.
