Talk:Low-energy transfer

Comparison to Farquhar's route
This article would be more informative if it provided numbers for delta V savings. In the papers already cited, Belbruno says his routes use the usual TLI burn. So it seems to me his Hiten route only saves .4 km/s, possibly less. I'm a new editor. I want to include title of Farquhar's article in the the footnotes but don't know how.HopDavid (talk) 18:14, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't like footnotes?
Any particular reason you removed the footnote style reference? Because if so, you should probably remove the tag. --Vonfraginoff 21:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

wants an image
If there was ever an article in need of a picture, it's this one. Anybody have a really squiggly line handy? Does the Galileo E->J transfer count?

Ed, ease up on the purple prose
Ed, I understand that this is a big deal in some senses, but you can't just call your own work "revolutionary" in an encyclopedia. It's an advance in orbital design technique, not Copernicus. Unless you can cite a source not authored by you (or someone closely connected with you) calling it revolutionary, it ought to be dropped entirely. Even if such a source existed, the article should refer to the citation as naming it "revolutionary". One satellite does not a revolution make. --Vonfraginoff (talk) 13:11, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Delta-V vs time
There is reference to saving time in the article but no quantification of the time spent, perhaps someone with more knowledge of this transfer method could expand on how much duration is added to a journey to some of the example orbital transfer points?

So, how does it work?
Wouldn't it be nice if the the article could explain a bit how it actually works, instead of just giving a explanation of its effect / what it is good for?193.170.127.132 (talk) 10:22, 18 April 2014 (UTC) MansourJE (talk) 04:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

New proposal to go to Mars planet
New proposal to go to Mars which uses low energy and is much cheaper and would allow for escaping the need for timing and scheduling launch windows.

More information to read this proposal:
