Artists concept of a lunar cycler approaching Earth
A lunar cycler rounds the south pole of the Earth near perigee, its closest approach to the Earth, while a trailing future generation space shuttle prepares for a rendezvous. Once a lunar cycler has been propelled into its elliptical Earth/Moon orbit, it would require relatively little fuel over the ensuing years to maintain its orbit.
One thing to note about a lunar cycler is that while it does continually orbit between the Earth and Moon, it is not a tug, i.e. the cycler does not add any momentum to a docking space shuttle nor to any other craft that connects to it. Any ship that docks with the cycler must itself supply the initial energy required to reach an orbit matching the cycler s. What the cycler offers is a permanent transfer point for personnel and supplies and better accommodations for the weeklong journey to the Moon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of a lunar cycler gracefully approaching Earth. With its elliptical orbit bringing it closest to our planet near perigee, the cycler becomes a vital transfer point for personnel and supplies destined for the Moon. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a future generation space shuttle trailing behind the cycler, preparing for an imminent rendezvous. It is important to note that although the lunar cycler continually orbits between Earth and Moon, it does not act as a tug or provide any additional momentum to docking spacecraft. Instead, any craft connecting with the cycler must independently generate enough energy to match its orbit. However, once propelled into its precise trajectory within our Earth-Moon system, this ingenious invention requires minimal fuel over time to maintain its course. As we delve into this artwork's rich details, we are transported into a world where space exploration meets artistic imagination. The digitally generated image portrays futuristic technology seamlessly integrated with celestial wonders. Against the backdrop of our solar system and surrounded by artificial satellites and probes, these three objects - the lunar cycler, space shuttle orbiter prototype - symbolize humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery beyond our home planet. Walter Myers' creation invites us to contemplate mankind's potential in astrophysics and astronautics while marveling at the surreal beauty of outer space. This thought-provoking rendition serves as both an inspiration for scientific progress and a testament to human ingenuity in unlocking the mysteries of our vast universe.
