Optimal Low-Thrust GEO-to-DRO Transfers via a Multi-Layer Homotopy Strategy for Cislunar Applications
Low-thrust transfers from Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) to Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) are numerically difficult to compute because the underlying two-point boundary value problem is strongly affected by nonlinear cislunar dynamics, discontinuous control behavior, and the high sensitivity of indirect methods...
