Abstract
- This paper presents research on the application of trajectory design, optimization, and control to an orbital transfer from Mars–Phobos Distant Retrograde Orbits to the surface of Phobos. Given a Distant Retrograde Orbit and a landing location on the surface of Phobos, landing trajectories for which total Δ v for a direct 2-burn maneuver is minimized are computed. This is accomplished through the use of Particle Swarm Optimization in which the required Δ v and time of flight are optimization parameters. The non-uniform gravitational environment of Phobos is considered in the computation. Results show how direct transfers can be achieved with Δ v on the order of ∼30 m/s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
