Time-Optimal Spacecraft Reorientation for the Observation of Multiple Asteroids

To observe multiple asteroids in a short time, the time-optimal reorientation is investigated here for the rest-to-rest reorientation of a generic rigid spacecraft. First, the problem is formulated and solved using the hp-adaptive pseudospectral method. It is found that there exist not merely bang-b...
