Numerical study of optimal trajectories with singular arcs for space launcher problems
The subject of this paper is the study of singular arcs (i.e. with a non maximal thrust) for a space launcher problem. We consider a flight to the GTO orbit for a heavy multi-stage launcher (Ariane 5 class), and use a realistic physical model for the drag force and rocket thrust. As a preliminary result, we first solve the complete flight with stage separations, at full thrust. Then we focus on...
متن کاملSynthesis of Optimal Controlled Trajectories with Chattering Arcs
A field theoretic approach that is based on the method of characteristics is outlined to prove the optimality of a synthesis of controlled trajectories that contains chattering arcs. Since the corresponding controls are not piecewise continuous they switch infinitely many times on finite intervals the classical argument by Boltyansky to prove differentiability of the associated value function i...
متن کاملOptimal capture trajectories using multiple gravity assists
Graph theoretic methods of optimal control in the presence of uncertainty are applied to a celestial mechanics problem. We find a fuel-efficient spacecraft trajectory which starts at infinity and is captured by the smaller member of a binary system, e.g., a moon of Jupiter, using multiple gravity assists.
متن کاملSymmetry Properties of Optimal Space Trajectories
The determination of minimum-fuel or minimum-time space trajectories has been pursued for decades, using different methods of solution. This work illustrates some symmetry properties that hold for optimal space trajectories and can considerably simplify their determination. The existence of symmetry properties is demonstrated in the presence of certain boundary conditions for the problem of int...
متن کاملThrust - Limited Optimal Three - Dimensional Spacecraft Trajectories
Several optimal three-dimensional orbital transfer problems are solved for thrust-limited spacecrafts using collocation and nonlinear programming techniques. The solutions for full nonlinear equations of motion are obtained where the integrals of the free Keplerian motion in three dimensions are utilized for coasting arcs. In order to limit the solution space, interior-point constraints are use...
