Volume 9, Issue 4 , April 2017, , Pages 13-25

Abstract
  In this research, the problem of optimal trajectory design of an upper stage is considered for satellite injection into Geostationary orbit in 3-Dimensional space. The optimal multi-burn trajectory is obtained based on Euler-Lagrange theory with minimum fuel consumption criteria. Instead of using switch ...  Read More
