Talk:Low energy transfers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am the author of the Low enery trasfers page which is under consideration for speedy deletion.

Here are the references to this subject, which I am about to add to the article:


Low energy transfers to the moon were first demonstrated by Dr. Edward Belbruno in 1991 by the Japanese spacecraft Hiten.

The trajectory used by Hiten is a revolutionary new type of trajectory to the moon derived from Weak Stability Boundary Theory.

Any particular reason you removed the footnote style reference? Because if so, you should probably remove the [1]
