Center Independent Research & Development: JPL IRAD
Algorithms for computing efficient, electric-propulsion, spiralling trajectories
Project Description
Develop techniques for rapidly designing many-revolution, electric-propulsion, spiralling trajectories, including the effects of shadowing, gravity harmonics, and possibly impulsive manoeuvres, aerodynamic effects and gravity assists.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Missions will benefit from new techniques for rapidly designing many-revolution, electric-propulsion, spiralling trajectories, including the effects of shadowing, gravity harmonics, and possibly impulsive manoeuvres, aerodynamic effects and gravity assists.
