 	\section{Algorithm Overview} \label{algorithm}
-		Highlight the algorithm at a high-level. This is likely where flowcharts and diagrams will go to
-		give a high-level overview.
+
+		In this section, we will review the actual execution of the algorithm developed. As an
+		overview, the routine was developed to enable the determination of an optimized spacecraft
+		trajectory from the selection of some very basic mission parameters. Those parameters
+		include:
+
+		\begin{itemize}
+			\item Spacecraft dry mass
+			\item Thruster Specific Impulse
+			\item Thruster Maximum Thrusting Force
+			\item Thruster Duty Cycle Percentage
+			\item Number of Thruster on Spacecraft
+			\item Total Starting Weight of the Spacecraft
+			\item A Maximum Acceptable $V_\infty$ at arrival and $C_3$ at launch
+			\item The Launch Window Timing and the Latest Arrival
+			\item A cost function relating the mass usage, $v_\infty$ at arrival, and $C_3$ at
+				launch to a cost
+			\item A list of flyby planets starting with Earth and ending with the destination
+		\end{itemize}
+
+		Which allows for extremely automated optimization of the trajectory, while still providing
+		the mission designer with the flexibility to choose the particular flyby planets to
+		investigate.
+
+		This is achieved via an optimal control problem in which the ``inner loop'' is a
+		non-linear programming problem to determine the optimal low-thrust control law and flyby
+		parameters given a suitable initial guess. Then an ``outer loop'' monotonic basin hopping
+		algorithm is used to traverse the search space and more carefully optimize the solutions
+		found by the inner loop.
