⟨makoivis⟩ So here’s how I do it. When in a parking orbit, pick ECI as your maneuver frame and earth-sun as your plotting frame. Change the time around until you see the periapsis starts rising. There’s several different transfers with different periods that work here. Fiddle around until you get an approach with the moon that grazes the moon’s orbit.
