Catalog of double lunar swingby orbits for exploring the Earth's geomagnetic tailForty three orbits, which are periodic in geocentric reference frames rotating at lunar and at solar rates were found using a patched conic technique. The different orbits provide coverage of different parts of the distant geomagnetic tail. The parameters for 43 sun synchronous double lunar swingby orbits and plots of the sun synchronous double lunar swingby orbits are included.
