| Abstract: | The trajectory optimization technique described in this paper provides several distinct advantages over previous formulations. First, fully numerically integrated trajectory modeling is used. That is, no approximations to the trajectory are made and the inclusion of any level of complicated force models desired is allowed. Second, only trajectory propagation is used so there is no requirement for optimization. This is accomplished by the novel method of splitting the trajectory into independent legs, which are then subjected to constrained optimization. Third, each of the trajectory legs may be specified by any convenient set of parameters particularly useful for that leg. Any of these parameters may then be subject to constraints. Fourth, the nonlinear optimization problem is solved by solving a sequence of linear problems which converges to the optimal nonlinear solution. Fifth, the robustness of this formulation requires little or no user interaction with the optimization once a feasible problem has been posed. |
