\abstract{  \OnePageChapter

	There are a variety of approaches to finding and optimizing low-thrust trajectories in
	interplanetary space. This thesis analyzes one such approach, namely the application of a
	Monotonic Basin Hopping (MBH) algorithm to a series of Sims-Flanagan transcribed trajectory arcs
	and its applications in a multiple-shooting non-linear solver for the purpose of finding valid
	low-thrust trajectories between planets given poor initial conditions. These valid arcs are then
	fed into the MBH algorithm, which combines them in order to find and optimize interplanetary
	trajectories, given a set of flyby planets. This allows for a fairly rapid searching of a very
	large solution space of low-thrust profiles via a medium fidelity inner-loop solver and a
	well-suited optimization routine. The trajectories found by this method can then be optimized
	further by feeding the solutions back, once again, into the non-linear solver, this time
	allowing the solver to perform optimization.
