Generating Solar Sail Trajectories in the Earth-Moon System Using Augmented Finite-Difference Methods
Using a solar sail, a spacecraft orbit can be offset from a central body such that the orbital plane is displaced from the gravitational center. Such a trajectory might be desirable for a single-spacecraft relay to support communications with an outpost at the lunar south pole. Although trajectory d...
