After completion of a resupply mission to NASA's proposed Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway, safe disposal of the Logistics Module is required. One potential option is disposal to heliocentric space. This investigation includes an exploration of the trajectory escape dynamics from an Earth-Moon Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) and applies these insights to the design of a low-cost heliocentric Logistics Module disposal option. The effects of the solar gravitational perturbations are assessed in both the bicircular restricted 4-body problem and in an ephemeris force model.
