The Moon Shuttle will leave Earth orbit and enter lunar orbit 3.5 days later and loiter for a day. The Lunar Shuttle will lift off from the lunar surface and dock with the Moon Shuttle in lunar orbit. The passengers exchange spacecraft, then undock and go their own way.
The system has the following specifications:
CISLUNAR VEHICLE
CV Delta V Budget = Delta V There + Delta V Back
CV Delta V Budget = 4.276 + 4.404
CV Delta V Budget = 8.680 kps
8–day mission duration
LUNAR VEHICLE
LV Delta V Budget = Delta V Up + Delta V Down
LV Delta V Budget = 1.883 + 2.159
LV Delta V Budget = 4.042 kps
1–day mission duration

Passenger Exchange
CV Crew Module = 7,767 kg
Moon Shuttle Propellant Requirement = Propellant There + Propellant Back
Moon Shuttle Propellant Requirement = 64521 + 25741
Moon Shuttle Propellant Requirement = 90,262 kg
Moon Shuttle Propellant Requirement = 99.99% full
LV Crew Module = 5,322 kg
Lunar Shuttle Propellant Requirement = Propellant Up + Propellant Down
Lunar Shuttle Propellant Requirement = 6782 + 4990
Lunar Shuttle Propellant Requirement = 11,771 kg
