Minimum-Fuel Trajectories and Near-Optimal Explicit Guidance for Pinpoint Landing from Low Lunar Orbit
This research addresses minimum-fuel pinpoint lunar landing at the South Pole, focusing on trajectory design and near-optimal guidance aimed at driving a spacecraft from a circular low lunar orbit (LLO) to an instantaneous hovering state above the lunar surface. Orbit dynamics is propagated in a hig...
