Continuous Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization: Techniques and Applications

Trajectory optimization is a powerful technique to analyze mission feasibility during mission design. High-thrust trajectory optimization problems are typically formulated as discrete optimization problems and are numerically well-behaved. Low-thrust systems, on the other hand, operate for significa...
