Optimization of Multi-revolution Flights Between Elliptical Non-complanar Orbits
摘要
The problem of optimization of multi-revolution trajectories between elliptical noncoplanar orbits is considered. The necessary conditions of optimality in the thrust minimization problem are given, which is used to diagnose the existence of a solution to the trajectory optimization problem of a spacecraft with limited thrust. A general scheme for solving the trajectory optimization problem with a limited thrust engine and numerical examples are given.
