Abstract

Multi-objective design exploration (MODE) is applied to the trajectory design optimization problem for DESTINY mission, whose spacecraft will go to the moon by the ion engine from the large ellipse orbit. This approach revealed some important design knowledge such as tradeoff information among minimization of the operation time of ion engine, maximization of the final orbit energy, and minimization of the transit time under 20000 km altitude. This study also shows possibility of simultaneous design of trajectory and spacecraft. Copyright
