Abstract

This paper proposes a global optimisation of the low-thrust transfers from GTO to GEO incorporating different types of perturbation. The trajectory transcription method makes use of an analytical solution of the perturbed Keplerian motion together with a simple direct collocation of the thrust arcs. The paper will show that low-thrust GTO to GEO transfers exhibit a number of local minima with a small but not negligible difference. The paper presents different strategies to explore the set of local minima and shows a number of locally optimal solutions.
