- Title
Optimization of the transfer trajectory of a low-thrust spacecraft for research of Jupiter using an Earth gravity-assist maneuver.
- Authors
Konstantinov, M.; Orlov, A.
- Abstract
The paper analyzes the possibility of the use of a gravity-assist maneuver for flight to Jupiter. The advantage of the Earth gravity-assist maneuver in comparison with the direct transfer in terms of reduction of amount of energy required per transfer is considered. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of two transfer profiles are given.
