Space Trajectory Optimization
NASA NEA Scout solar sailing trajectory to a near-Earth asteroid
Develop space trajectory optimization methods by applying astrodynamics, optimal control theory, and numerical optimization
Image: Solar sailing trajectory optimized via an indirect method based on solar sailing primer vector theory, designed for NASA's NEA Scout mission. Collaboration work with NASA JPL NEA Scout mission analysis team. See Solar Sailing Primer Vector Theory: Indirect Trajectory Optimization with Practical Mission Considerations for more detail
