Geometric Optimal Control and Applications to Aerospace
Jiamin Zhu, Emmanuel Trélat, Max Cerf
This survey article deals with applications of optimal control to aerospace problems with a focus on modern geometric optimal control tools and numerical continuation techniques. G…
Minimum time control of the rocket attitude reorientation associated with orbit dynamics
Jiamin Zhu, Emmanuel Trélat, Max Cerf
In this paper, we investigate the minimal time problem for the guidance of a rocket, whose motion is described by its attitude kinematics and dynamics but also by its orbit dynamic…
Low-Thrust Transfer Between Circular Orbits Using Natural Precession
Max Cerf
The minimum-fuel low-thrust transfer between circular orbits is formulated using the Edelbaum's averaged dynamics with the addition of the nodal precession due to the first zonal t…
Multiple Space Debris Collecting Mission -- Optimal Mission Planning
Max Cerf
This paper addresses the problem of planning successive Space Debris Collecting missions so that they can be achieved at minimal cost by a generic vehicle. The problem mixes combin…
