Optimal control and trajectory optimization are central disciplines in aerospace engineering, enabling the design of efficient, safe and robust flight paths while minimising fuel consumption and ...

Third, authors review Jupiter global mapping trajectories. Unlike the low-inclination tour trajectories, Jupiter’s global mapping trajectories need high inclinations. On the one hand, gravity assists ...

Efficient drilling in shale reservoirs requires detailed 3-dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories. An orthogonal-arc trajectory (OAT) method assumes a single constant curvature in the curved ...
