Low-Thrust Optimal Orbit Raising with Plane Change
A new guidance scheme for the problem of Low-thrust transfer between inclined orbits is developed within the framework of optimal control theory. The objective of the guidance scheme is to provide the appropriate thrust steering program that will transfer the vehicle from an inclined low earth orbits to the high earth orbits. The presented guidance scheme is determined using Pontryagin’s princi...
متن کاملLyapunov-based Low-thrust Optimal Orbit Transfer: An approach in Cartesian coordinates
This paper presents a simple approach to low-thrust optimal-fuel and optimal-time transfer problems between two elliptic orbits using the Cartesian coordinates system. In this case, an orbit is described by its specific angular momentum and Laplace vectors with a free injection point. Trajectory optimization with the pseudospectral method and nonlinear programming are supported by the initial g...
متن کاملEstimating Takeoff Thrust from Surveillance Track Data
Emissions inventory calculations for airports, using standard emissions inventory reporting methods, are inflated due an assumption of use of maximum takeoff thrust. To enhance the operational life of jet engines and reduce fuel burn, airlines frequently use reduced thrust (i.e. Derated or Flex Temperature thrust) for the takeoff procedure. Without access to internal airline “load sheet” paperw...
متن کاملNumerical integration of satellite orbits around an oblate planet
A recurrent power series (RPS) method is constructed for the numerical integration of the equations of motion of a planet and its N satellites. The planet is considered as an oblate spheroid with the oblateness potential calculated up to the factor J4. The efficiency of the RPS method in terms of accuracy and speed is compared to that of the commonly used 10th-order Gauss-Jackson backward diffe...
متن کاملPolarization of Starlight by Unresolved and Oblate Extra-solar Planet in Elliptical Orbit
We calculate the degree of linear polarization of radiation from stars having planets that may not be resolved spatially. We assume single scattering by water and silicate particulates in the planetary atmosphere. The dilution of the reflected polarized radiation of the planet by the unpolarized stellar radiation and the effect of oblateness of the planet as well as its elliptical orbit are inc...
