Abstract/Summary:
Minimum fuel trajectories for low-thrust power-limited spacecraft are investigated. The Pole Squatter mission involves an orbit transfer in Earth's gravity field. Edelbaum's orbit averaging method is used and Marec's analytical solution for the co-latus rectum transfer, as well as the numerically obtained globally optimal transfer are studied. In a mission to Lagrange points...
