Low-Thrust Transfer to Quasi-Synchronous Martian Elliptic Orbit via Nonlinear Feedback Control

This study considers the problem of injecting a spacecraft into an elliptic, repeating-ground-track orbit about Mars, starting from a 4-sol highly elliptical orbit, which is a typical Martian capture orbit, entered at the end of the interplanetary transfer. The final operational orbit has apoares co...
