The aim of this investigation is to determine the feasibility of mission disposal by inserting the spacecraft into a heliocentric orbit along the unstable manifold and then manipulating the Jacobi constant to prevent the spacecraft from returning to the Earth-Moon system. This investigation focuses around L1 orbits representative of ACE, WIND, and SOHO. It will model the impulsive delta-V necessary to close the zero velocity curves after escape through the L1 gateway in the circular restricted three body model and also include full ephemeris force models and higher fidelity finite maneuver models for the three spacecraft.
