A hybrid multiagent approach for global trajectory optimization
In this paper we consider a global optimization method for space trajectory design problems. The method, which actually aims at finding not only the global minimizer but a whole set of low-lying local minimizers (corresponding to a set of different design options), is based on a domain decomposition technique where each subdomain is evaluated through a procedure based on the evolution of a popu...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization Using Global Methods
This paper compares three different global indirect approaches for solving the problem of finding optimal trajectories for low thrust spacecraft. The three methods tested were downhill simplex, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. Two problems are analyzed. The first is a planar low thrust problem. This is the problem of finding a minimum time trajectory from Earth to Mars orbit using a ...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization for a Multistage Launch Vehicle Using Nonlinear Programming
This work is an example of application of nonlinear programming to a problem of three-dimensional trajectory optimization for multistage launch vehicles for geostationary orbit missions. The main objective is to minimize fuel consumption or equivalently to maximize the payload. The launch vehicle considered here, Europa-II, consists of 5 thrust phases and 2 coast phases. Major parameters of the...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization of Cable Parallel Manipulators in Point-to-Point Motion
Planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. The problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization for the Design of Space Trajectories
The problem of optimally designing a trajectory for a space mission is considered in this paper. Actual mission design is a complex, multidisciplinary and multi-objective activity with relevant economic implications. In this paper we will consider some simplified models proposed by the European Space Agency as test problems for global optimization. We show that many trajectory optimization prob...
