Initial Three-Dimensional Trajectory Design for Solar Sails Using Bezier Shaping Approach

An approach for the fast generation of a minimum-time, three-dimensional trajectory for a spacecraft propelled by a solar sail with reflection control devices (RCDs) is presented using the authors' previously proposed Bezier curve-based shaping approach. In this approach, the time variation of...
