Robust Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization Using Convex Programming and a Homotopic Approach

A robust algorithm to solve the low-thrust fuel-optimal trajectory optimization problem for interplanetary spacecraft is developed in this article. The original nonlinear optimal control problem is convexified and transformed into a parameter optimization problem using an arbitrary-order Gauss-Lobat...
