A new procedure for designing a multi-body Lambert type orbit comprising a multiple swingby process is developed, aiming at relieving a numerical difficulty inherent to a highly nonlinear swingby mechanism. The proposed algorithm, Recursive Multi-Step Linearization, first divides a whole orbit into several trajectory segments. Then, with a maximum use of piecewised transition matrices, a segmentized orbit is repeatedly upgraded until an approximated orbit initially based on a patched conics method eventually converges. In application to the four body earth-moon system with sun's gravitation, one of the double lunar swingby orbits including 12 lunar swingbys is successfully designed without any velocity mismatch.
