                         through a single gravity assist maneuver of a spacecraft with the 
                         Moon. This paper presents a semi-analytical study of variations in 
                         the semi-major axis and the eccentricity of a spacecraft for a 
                         geocentric frame-before and after a close encounter of the 
                         spacecraft with the Moon. Studies on the swing-by dynamics between 
                         a spacecraft and the Moon were performed in order to establish a 
                         set of initial conditions in terms of eccentricities and 
                         semi-major axes of geocentric initial orbits. This way, it was 
                         possible identify which orbits, launched from Earth parking 
                         orbits, accomplish swing-bys with the Moon and generate escape 
                         trajectories.",
