Spacecraft trajectory design utilizing resonance orbits in a hybrid optimal control framework
Low-energy trajectories are a growing subset of trajectory design, particularly in the three-body space. These trajectories use the inherent stability and instability of certain orbits as a means of fuel efficient transfers. Traditionally, work on these types of trajectories has taken a very “hands …

Optimal orbit transfers for satellite formation flying applications
This dissertation focused on trajectory optimization problems arising from the application of satellite formation flying, and obtained three major results. First, the dissertation proposed an algorithm for finding a multi-impulse, fuel-optimal trajectory, based on relative motion dynamics, and the …
