  • Abstract
    This paper studies the optimal transfer trajectory planning problem in the near-range closing phase for spacecraft rendezvous process. Based on C-W equation, an optimal programming model for fuel-cost minimization is created, and non-linear programming algorithms are used to solve the problem. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the algorithms.
