Thanks for the replies. Is basically all the info you need to calculate orbits in the two sticky threads? I skimmed through them a little, but I know it's going to take me time to learn it well enough to do it myself.

What would make such a trajectory tricky?

I was wondering how feasible it would be for a spacecraft to use a lunar gravity assist on its route to Mars. Specifically, I was wondering; 1.) Would such a maneuver boost the delta-v en route to Mars? 2.) Would any such boost be possible in terms of its geometry? (i.e., would a lunar...
