Piecewise-constant control strategies for use in minimum fuel aeroassisted orbital transfers
The use of aerodynamic forces to assist in certain orbital transfers can greatly reduce the fuel consumption as compared with corresponding all-propulsive transfers. Therefore, in seeking minimum fuel trajectories, aeroassisted transfers need to be investigated. A review of the current literature in...
