N2 - We analyze singular arcs arising in an optimal Moon-to-Earth trajectory and numerically verify its optimality. Imposing maximum thrust, fuel budget, and flight time as design constraints, we formulate a time-bound fuel-optimal control problem. The resulting control scheme is composed of three finite burns, among which the second burn is singular. We apply our newly derived necessary conditions to verify its optimality. All numerical results are developed via the software package DIDO.
