The analysis of the gross aspects of the flight mechanics for lunar trajectories from orbital launch is presented. An attempt is made to define the launch requirements from an earth orbit, the geometrical relationships existing between an Orbital Launch Facility in earth orbit and the moon in its orbit, the departure trajectory sensitivity to energy and time requirements, the launch-on-time problem and the orbital "escape window".
