Coming from outside the gravitational sphere of influence of a celestial body, a spacecraft may have its relative velocity reduced, to the point of causing it to enter in a temporary orbit around this celestial body. This phenomena is called temporary gravitational capture and can be used to reduce the fuel consumption in a complete transfer between the Earth and the Moon. This work studies the forces acting in this system and, using the method based in the two body energy concept, shows a parametric study about the time of flight and the eccentricity of the primaries in the gravitational capture maneuver. Several others facts related to this problem are also studied in detail.
