This is a long-overdue volume dedicated to space trajectory
optimization. Interest in the subject has grown, as space missions
of increasing levels of sophistication, complexity, and scientific
return - hardly imaginable in the 1960s - have been designed and
flown. Although the basic tools of optimization theory remain an
accepted canon, there has been a revolution in the manner in which
they are applied and in the development of numerical optimization.
This volume purposely includes a variety of both analytical and
numerical approaches to trajectory optimization. The choice of
authors has been guided by the editor's intention to assemble the
most expert and active researchers in the various specialities
presented. The authors were given considerable freedom to choose
their subjects, and although this may yield a somewhat eclectic
volume, it also yields chapters written with palpable enthusiasm
and relevance to contemporary problems.
