Low Thrust Trajectory Optimizating Using the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel Transformation

Repo accompanying the paper "Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization Using the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel Transformation" presented at the 31st AIAA/AAS Space Flight Mechanics Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Examples From Paper

The three main examples from the paper are low-thrust GTO to GEO transfers of varying maximum thrust. These examples are in the following locations:

• conference_examples/30_day_transfer
• conference_examples/60_day_transfer
• conference_examples/100_day_transfer
