摘要
Escape trajectories from geosynchronous transfer orbit for solar sails were investigated. A simple control, which maximizes the instantaneous rate of energy change, was derived using vector notation. The control law comprises both the case of an ideal flat sail and the case of a solar-photon thrustor spacecraft. The simulations indicate that the sun-sail position in the last few spirals has a significant effect on the efficiency of the escape trajectory.
