Constrained trajectory optimization has been a critical component in the development of
advanced guidance and control systems. An improperly planned reference trajectory can be …

Potentials of Particle Swarm Optimization techniques in the field of flight path generation are
investigated in this paper. The objective is the development of a particle swarm-based …

In this paper, combined with the direct approach, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is
applied to low-thrust trajectory optimization problems. A double-loop trajectory optimization …

The objective of this paper is to present an approximation-based strategy for solving the

THE determination of optimal (either minimum time or minimum propellant consumption)
space trajectories has been pursued with different numerical optimization methods, for …

I am indebted to my supervisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Findeisen for leaving large scientific
freedom, the opportunity to learn about the administrative aspects of academia, and many …

In this article, a fast chance-constrained trajectory generation strategy incorporating convex
optimization and convex approximation of chance constraints is designed so as to solve the …

SPACE maneuver vehicles (SMVs)[1, 2] will play an increasingly important role in the future
exploration of space because their onorbit maneuverability can greatly increase the …
