Some Serious Navigation

[HiPotOk1978]

For those that are not familiar with the two key points of this thread, please check out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_points
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_Network

I am wondering if there is any tools or procedures in Orbiter to take advantage of lagrange points and of course the ITN as it is simulated in orbiter. I am looking for some more challenging navigational problems to work out

Any assistance in discovering how to use these 'things' (can't find a better word) would be appreciated

As for the ITN.... No idea, sorry!

There's a study group in the Nasa spaceflight forum:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=18070.0
It was started by Mmeijeri who I believe is also a member of the Orbiter community (don't know what name he goes by here, though).

The "text book" of this study group can be downloaded from this page: http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~marsden/books/Mission_Design.html

Our goal is to "grok" ITN, something that is still mysterious to me as of this writing. Please feel free to join us.
