Optimal transfer trajectories from libration collinear points of the Earth-Moon system

Mihai Popescu

Abstract


The present paper illustrates the study of transferring the space vehicles from the collinear libration points of the Earth-Moon system to the maximum distance assuming that the evolution time is known. After the analysis of the admissible states, the optimal command law which represents the absolute extremum in a class of relative extreme is determined.
