Here a spacecraft is seen on an optimal thrust-coast-thrust trajectory in the IAU reference frame with continuous coverage of the lunar south pole. Thrust arcs are in red, while coasts arcs are in blue. Grebow and Ozimek

This animation depicts a spacecraft on a feasible thrust-coast-thrust trajectory with constant
view of the lunar south pole for about 1 year. The animation begins after a low thrust transfer from Earth orbit and continues
until the spacecraft enters lunar orbit. Ozimek and Grebow

This animation depicts a feasible thrust-coast-thrust trajectory with constant view of the lunar south
pole. Additionally, representative orbits from the southern L2 halo family from the circular restricted three body problem are
superimposed to illustrate correspondence of the trajectory with the natural system dynamics. Ozimek and Grebow

This animation shows multiple views of a low thrust trajectory from Earth orbit to an L1
halo orbit. The halo orbit's stable manifold is included to show how the trajectory follows the natural system dynamics on approach to
the halo. Ozimek
