Low Thrust Trajectory Design Using A Semi-Analytic Approach
Madhusudan Vijayakumar, Ossama Abdelkhalik
Space missions that use low-thrust propulsion technology are becoming increasingly popular since they utilize propellant more efficiently and thus reduce mission costs. However, op…
Sub-Optimal Fast Fourier Series Approximation for Initial Trajectory Design
Caleb Gunsaulus, Carl De Vries, William Brown +3
The Finite Fourier Series (FFS) Shape-Based (SB) trajectory approximation method has been used to rapidly generate initial trajectories that satisfy the dynamics, trajectory bounda…
Design of Initial Guess Low Thrust Trajectories Using Clohessy-Wiltshire Equations
Madhusudan Vijayakumar, William Skamser, Ossama Abdelkhalik
The commercial interest in producing low-cost space missions by exploiting the superior propellant management of low-thrust propulsion technology has become increasingly popular. T…
