Abstract
Online tools that can be used for background studies for small bodies are described in Sect. 7.2. A tool for use in designing orbital maneuvers is treated in Sect. 7.3, together with examples, the description of the computer algorithm, and a brief discussion of some maneuver constraints. Two methods for designing free-return lunar trajectories for use in ensuring as much as possible the safe return of humans to the moon are described in Sect. 7.4.
