How it works

A tourist flight burns propellant in three discrete manoeuvres: trans-lunar injection (leaving Earth orbit), lunar orbit insertion (braking into orbit around the Moon) and a powered descent to the surface habitat. Each burn is drawn as a bright thruster flare along the arc.

Δv_total = Δv_TLI + Δv_LOI + Δv_landing
m_fuel/m0 = 1 − e^(−Δv/(Isp·g0))   (Tsiolkovsky rocket equation)
dose ∝ dose0 · trip_duration · e^(−μ·shield)

Delta-v budget — total velocity change available; tighter budgets force a slower, more efficient trajectory.
Radiation shield — thicker hull shielding exponentially reduces the galactic cosmic ray dose over the multi-day transit.
Trip duration — longer transits accumulate more radiation but need less delta-v (a low-energy transfer trade-off).
