Abstract

The reachable domain (RD) for satellite with continuous low-thrust that initially orbits Earth in a circular orbit is investigated. The standard Two Body model is employed. Establishing a frame of reference moving along with the RD, we determine the boundary of the RD by looking for the largest displacement the satellite may accomplish in an arbitrarily chosen spatial direction. Thus the RD solving problem is converted into a series of finite-time optimal control problems which can be solved by a Newton's shooting method. By traversing all the spatial attitude angles we finally obtain the numerical solution of the RD.
