Low-Thrust Trajectory Design Using Finite Fourier Series Approximation of Pseudoequinoctial Elements

A new low-thrust trajectory design method is proposed that is based on the finite Fourier series method with pseudoequinoctial elements rather than the more common cylindrical coordinate components. The bijection relation between the elements and control variables is ensured by introducing an additi...
