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.
