A Shape-Based Method for Continuous Low-Thrust Trajectory Design between Circular Coplanar Orbits
The shape-based method can provide suitable initial guesses for trajectory optimization, which are useful for quickly converging a more accurate trajectory. Combined with the optimal control theory, an optimized shape-based method using the finite Fourier series is proposed in this paper. Taking the...
