Solar sail trajectory optimization for interplanetary missions: part I—dynamics and optimal control

Solar sailing enables low-cost, continuous-acceleration interplanetary missions without fuel consumption. This paper presents the modeling and trajectory optimization of solar sail spacecraft for minimum-time interplanetary transfers. The solar radiation pressure model is formulated, and the spacecr...
