Abstract
The Lunar Volatile and Mineralogy Mapping Orbiter (VMMO) is a small satellite mission designed to investigate the distribution of water ice and ilmenite deposits near the lunar south pole. This paper summarizes the trajectory design and mission analyses carried out as part of the VMMO Phase B1 study funded by the European Space Agency. Three mission phases are currentlly envisaged, including a low-thrust transfer into a polar 41x200 km altitude lunar frozen orbit, where scientific observations will be carried out, and a newly design disposal strategy that capitalizes on the lumpy gravity field of the Moon.
