Initial Guess Generation for Low-Thrust Trajectory Design with Robustness to Missed-Thrust-Events

Published in Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2025

We propose a novel initial guess generation strategy for missed thrust design which leverages solutions from problems with lower problem complexity, demonstrating superior convergence properties relative to conventional global search methods in high-dimensional nonlinear programs.

Statistical Analysis of the Role of Invariant Manifolds on Robust Trajectories

Published in Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2025

Through comprehensive statistical analysis of low-thrust solutions in multibody environments, we demonstrate that optimal solutions — both robust and non-robust — exhibit strong correlation with invariant manifolds in three-body systems, establishing a fundamental connection between dynamical structures and solution robustness against operational uncertainties.
