Numerical optimization of synergetic maneuvers

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The use of atmospheric forces to produce an orbital plane change requires less energy than a pure exoatmospheric propulsion maneuver. The combination of aerodynamic and propulsive forces to cause a change in orbital inclination is termed a s...
