Optimal low-thrust GTO–GSO transfers using differential evolution
2021
Transfers from geosynchronous transfer orbits (GTO) to geosynchronous orbits (GSO) using electric propulsion have been optimized in the current study. Both time-optimal and fuel-optimal trajectories are generated. Three-dimensional equations of motion are considered for the system dynamics. The indirect approach based on optimal control theory is followed and the resulting two-point boundary value problem is solved using differential evolution, a search-based global optimization technique. Optimal trajectories for various mission scenarios are obtained using differential evolution and compared to transfers presented in literature.
