Generic Homotopic Smoothing for Low-Thrust Optimal Control Problems With Power Constraints
This brief is devoted to the power-constrained low-thrust optimal control problem (OCP).
First, a general model for a class of power constraints is proposed by defining a piecewise …

A simplified analytical approach for determining eclipses of satellites occulted by a celestial body
V Zubko, A Belyaev - Acta Astronautica, 2024 - Elsevier
The primary objective of this paper is to construct an analytical model for determining the
total duration of eclipse events of satellites. The approach is based on the assumption that …
