Abstract
The idea of this work is to continue the study of models and methods commonly used in astrodynamics spacecraft. It includes the calculation of optimal spatial trajectories, from the viewpoint of fuel efficiency to a transfer of a spacecraft between two given orbits. In this situation, we will study various options for modeling the dynamics of the action of actuators and optimization methods. Classical methods (Hohmann transfer bi-elliptical, etc.) and modern (involving gravitational capture maneuver assisted by gravity and "tethers") are searched. It is also intended to develop studies on missions to asteroids, in particular topics related to Aster mission, currently undergoing feasibility studies. (AU)
