Path: Interplanetary/OrbitOptimization
% Demonstrate the 2D trajectory optimization function for low thrust. This demo is the same as the built-in demo in TrajectoryOptimization, a low-thrust transfer to Mars. This is a well-studied problem. This is indirect optimization performed in cylindrical coordinates. The method used is downhill simplex. Things to try: see how the methods do with different initial costates. See also CostLowThrust2D, FLowThrust2D, TrajectoryOptimization, Plot2DTrajectory, Constant, Planets %
