Automated global optimization of low-energy trajectories using a hybrid optimal control framework
… different number of phases. The inner loop uses Monotonic Basin Hopping to seed initial guesses for the non-linear problem solver. Solutions are presented in the form of Pareto fronts trading multiple-objectives. The work described here presents the motivation for such a tool, the mathematical …

Automated trajectory planning for multiple-flyby interplanetary missions
… with a nonlinear programming solver and the monotonic basin hopping (MBH) global search heuristic. The methods developed here are demonstrated to optimize a set of example trajectories, including a recreation of the Cassini mission, a Galileo-like mission, and conceptual continuous-thrust …

Automated planetary satellite tour planning with a novel low-thrust direct transcription method
Upon completion of the heliocentric leg of its mission, it is almost always the case that an interplanetary spacecraft has scientific objectives to accomplish. This is especially true if the spacecraft performs a planetary moon tour. Over the past decade, mission designers have started to consider …

Robust preliminary design for multiple gravity assist spacecraft trajectories
The development of a new spacecraft trajectory design method most often occurs because a particular capability does not exist. The invention is usually considered successful so long as it is capable of producing solutions to the problem in question, and thus satisfies a particular design …
