“…Other examples include ELECTRO (ELECtric propulsion TRajectory Optimisation) [54], MIPELEC (Satellite Positioning with Electric Propulsion) [55], T3D [52] and SOFTT (Space Optimal Finite Thrust Transfer) [53]. MIPELEC is based on the theory developed by Geffroy and Epenoy [55] to solve min-time orbit-raising transfers with MEE, without shadow or oblateness effects.…”

“…A continuation method is implemented to run from an arbitrary guess. In SOFTT [53], the authors apply the averaging to the Hamiltonian and use the averaging theorem. The main difference between MIPELEC, T3D, and ELECTRO is that the true longitude is the independent variable instead of time, and SOFTT uses a nondimensional representation of the state.…”

A Survey on Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization Approaches

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we provide a survey on available numerical approaches for solving low-thrust trajectory optimization problems. First, a general mathematical framework based on hybrid optimal control will be presented. This formulation and their elements, namely objective function, continuous and discrete state and controls, and discrete and continuous dynamics, will serve as a basis for discussion throughout the whole manuscript. Thereafter, solution approaches for classical continuous optimal control problems will be briefly introduced and their application to low-thrust trajectory optimization will be discussed. A special emphasis will be placed on the extension of the classical techniques to solve hybrid optimal control problems. Finally, an extensive review of traditional and state-of-the art methodologies and tools will be presented. They will be categorized regarding their solution approach, the objective function, the state variables, the dynamical model, and their application to planetocentric or interplanetary transfers.
