Scientific paper

Trajectories are constructed for accelerating a solar sail spacecraft from low geocentric orbits beyond the gravitational field of the earth. In particular, attention is given to boost trajectories that include a perturbation maneuver near the moon. It is shown that the perturbation maneuver makes it possible to significantly reduce the time required for the spacecraft to escape the pull of the gravitational field of the earth as compared with a locally optimal guidance law that does not involve a lunar flyby.
