An analysis of a single-burn algorithm for low-earth orbit maintenance
With the requirement for a spacecraft to maintain an orbital altitude band, a simple energy balance algorithm has been developed using a combination of radial distance and spacecraft specific energy for fixed-vector thruster control. While each trajectory produces a unique band, initial attempts at...
