What (who) is Cycler - definition


Cycler         
WIKIMEDIA DISAMBIGUATION PAGE
A cycler is a potential spacecraft on a closed transfer orbit that would pass close to two celestial bodies at regular intervals. Cyclers could be used for carrying heavy supplies, life support and radiation shielding.
Mars cycler         
  • A Mars cycler is an elliptical orbit (green) that crosses the orbits of Earth (blue) and Mars (red), and encounters both planets at the points where it crosses their orbits, although not necessarily on every orbit. (Not to scale.)
  • Rather than wait for the cycler to come around again, Aldrin proposed using a second cycler to make the return trip. (Not to scale.)

SPACECRAFT TRAJECTORY THAT ENCOUNTERS EARTH AND MARS REGULARLY
Aldrin cycler; Earth-Mars cycler; Earth–Mars cycler
A Mars cycler (or Earth–Mars cycler) is a kind of spacecraft trajectory that encounters Earth and Mars regularly. The term Mars cycler may also refer to a spacecraft on a Mars cycler trajectory.
Lunar cycler         
A lunar cycler or Earth–Moon cycler is a cycler orbit, or spacecraft therein, which periodically passes close by the Earth and the Moon, using gravity assists and occasional propellant-powered corrections to maintain its trajectories between the two. If the fuel required to reach a particular cycler orbit from both the Earth and the Moon is modest, and the travel time between the two along the cycler is reasonable, then having a spacecraft in the cycler can provide an efficient and regular method for space transportation.
Examples of use of Cycler
1. A fraction of second of hesitation could send the cycler to a certain death on the rocks.
2. Two other Italians have been killed in recent attacks blamed on Romanians: a woman stabbed in the eye in a Rome subway and a cycler beaten by suspected Romanian muggers.
