Introduction

When studying and researching content related to cislunar space, the first challenge is finding reference materials. These mainly include literature and various types of data, such as ephemeris data. For Chinese scholars, accessing and downloading content from foreign websites often presents difficulties. Therefore, establishing a dedicated cislunar space data repository is essential — one that provides various data resources for researchers to query and download.

Secondly, the acquisition and use of various tools also presents challenges. For example, cislunar orbit design and analysis require professional software such as STK and GMAT, which have a steep learning curve for beginners. Establishing a dedicated tool resource repository with download links, usage tutorials, and technical support helps researchers utilize these tools more efficiently.

To translate research into practice, algorithm implementation is required, demanding programming and coding skills. At the same time, learning from open-source code is crucial. However, based on observation, undergraduate and graduate students in the field of Aeronautics, Astronautics, Science, and Technology generally lack systematic programming training and are unfamiliar with using open-source code on platforms like GitHub. Therefore, this knowledge base also provides advanced programming techniques to help researchers improve their coding skills and better carry out algorithm development and applications related to cislunar space.
