The Solar-Terrestrial Observer for the Response of the Magnetosphere (STORM) concept recently completed its Phase A design funded by NASA's Heliophysics Medium-class Explorers program. The mission design required a lunar gravity assist to insert the single spacecraft into a 30-Earth-radii circular geocentric science orbit inclined 90 degrees to the ecliptic. STORM's trajectory design leveraged several interesting gravitational effects from third bodies. This paper describes our application of Tisserand's criterion for finding feasible transfers and lunar gravity assist trajectories, and the Lidov-Kozai effect to design a maneuver-free science orbit optimization and decommissioning strategy.
