This paper presents a method to use the Bezier curve to rapidly generate three-dimensional low-thrust trajectories, which can provide a suitable initial approximation to be used for more accurate trajectory optimal control tools. Two missions, from Earth to Mars and the asteroid Dionysus, are considered to evaluate the performance of the method. In order to verify the advantages of this method, it is compared with the finite Fourier series method. Numerical results show that the Bezier method can get better performance index in shorter computation time compared with the finite Fourier series method. The applicability of the solution obtained by Bezier method is evaluated by introducing the obtained solution into the Gauss pseudospectral method as an initial guess. The simulation results show that the Bezier method can rapidly generate a very suitable three-dimensional initial trajectory for the optimal solver. This is very important for rapid evaluation of the feasibility of a large number of low-thrust flight schemes in the preliminary mission design stage.

In this communication 1-D heat conduction in a fractal medium is solved by the local fractional Fourier series method. The solution developed allows relating the basic properties of the fractal medium to the local heat transfer mechanism.

The objective of this paper is to present the application of microcontroller dsPIC30F6012A to measure the harmonics current and electrical power by using the Fourier series method to calculate the electrical parameters. This design is to develop the low cost harmonics instrument and to focus on working with the single phase AC system. The prototype was then developed to measure the harmonics current and power factor, and the result was compared with the standard instrument. The result is that most electrical parameters have the measurement errors of less than 4.0%. However, this idea could be developed so that it applies in the related work with the power quality measurement.
