Lunar flybys and solar perturbations present a golden opportunity to naturally modify trajectories of spacecraft launched in Moon-bound orbits. Leveraging the energy gained, or lost, from lunar flybys and multi-body effects allows for spacecraft to reach destinations not previously within their designed ?v budgets. Previous research studies have demonstrated the viability of collecting zero revolution Moon-to-Moon transfers into a referential database. This paper extends this capability to multi-revolution transfers and describes their main characteristics and increased versatility. Finally, a trajectory example is given for the escape phase of the NEA Scout mission.
