Initial guess and optimization strategies for multi-body space trajectories with application to free return trajectories to near-Earth asteroids
This concept of calculating, optimizing, and utilizing a trajectory known as a ``Free Return Trajectory" to facilitate spacecraft rendezvous with Near-Earth Asteroids is presented in this dissertation. A Free Return Trajectory may be defined as a trajectory that begins and ends near the same p...
