متن کاملLow Thrust Sub-Optimal Transfer Trajectories to the Moon
In the present research the problem of transferring a spacecraft from the Earth to the Moon with minimum fuel consumption is considered. The Two-Body model is assumed to be a valid mathematical representation for the dynamics during the transfer. The spacecraft starts in a Low Earth Orbit and then goes to a Polar Orbit around the Moon. In previous publications, impulsive and optimal low thrust ...
متن کاملLow-Thrust Trajectories to the Moon
In this paper the problem of sending a spacecraft from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the Moon with minimum fuel consumption is considered. It is assumed that the "Two-Body model" approximation is valid in all phases of the mission and that the final orbit around the Moon is polar. The first part deals with impulsive maneuvers, and obtain a set of values for fuel expenditure and trip time for several...
متن کاملEfficient Invariant-Manifold, Low-Thrust Planar Trajectories to the Moon ?
Two-impulse trajectories as well as mixed invariant-manifold and low-thrust efficient transfers to the Moon are discussed. Exterior trajectories executing ballistic lunar capture are formalized through the definition of special attainable sets. The coupled restricted threebody problems approximation is used to design appropriate first guesses for the subsequent optimization. The introduction of...
متن کاملThrust - Limited Optimal Three - Dimensional Spacecraft Trajectories
Several optimal three-dimensional orbital transfer problems are solved for thrust-limited spacecrafts using collocation and nonlinear programming techniques. The solutions for full nonlinear equations of motion are obtained where the integrals of the free Keplerian motion in three dimensions are utilized for coasting arcs. In order to limit the solution space, interior-point constraints are use...
