Quasioptimal control with feedback for multiorbit low-thrust transfer between noncoplanar elliptic and circular orbits

The problem of synthesizing stable feedback control is considered based on solving the problem of time minimization for a multiorbit transfer between noncoplanar elliptic and circular orbits in a Newtonian gravitational field. The problem is solved using asymptotic properties and symmetries of optimal control in the unperturbed problem. Stability of the obtained control against external perturbations, deviations of initial conditions, and errors in thrust vector realizations is demonstrated. The obtained quasioptimal control with feedback can be used as an onboard algorithm of spacecraft control and when performing design and ballistic analysis.
