Scientific paper

An account is given of trajectory optimization considerations applicable to the preliminary design of interplanetary solar-electric propulsion spacecraft; in interplanetary missions, the trajectories often define a mission's limiting boundary conditions. The 'SPACENAV' computer program, which has been developed for trajectory calculation and optimization of thrust vector control, is based on Lagrange theory combined with an innovative numerical iteration method for the generation of three-dimensional, multiple-burn maneuver strategies in both earth orbit and interplanetary space.
