Numerical methods refine impulsive transfers in Lissajous orbits, highlighting dynamics impacts on mission costs.

This study aims to investigate the effects of high-order dynamics on impulsive orbital transfers between Lissajous orbits around libration points.
Developed an iterative numerical method for refining impulsive transfer solutions.
Utilized the semi-analytical Lindstedt–Poincaré expansion for adjustments.
Applied the method to in-plane single-impulse transfers in the Sun-Earth+Moon and Earth-Moon systems.
Linear solutions are relatively accurate near optimal conditions.
Significant disturbances occur at the extremities of Lissajous orbits due to high-order dynamics.
Transfer costs can improve or deteriorate based on in-plane phase and transfer parameters.

Shimazaki et al. (2026) studied this question.
