Abstract :
Orbit maintenance problems are solved by the synthesis of the traditional penalty function method and evolution algorithms (EAs). A general method is presented for the n-time impulse problem of orbit maintenance. The algorithm is proved to be effective according to a simulation example which adjusts the semi-major axis with 3,4,5 impulse times.
