Low Energy Transfer

It is known that the optimization of the Earth-Moon low-energy transfer trajectory is extremely sensitive with the initial condition chosen to search. In order to find the proper initial parameter values of Earth-Moon low-energy transfer trajectory faster and obtain more accurate solutions with high stability, in this paper, an efficient hybridized differential evolution (DE) algorithm with a mix reinitialization strategy (DEMR) is presented. The mix reinitialization strategy is implemented based on a set of archived superior solutions to ensure both the search efficiency and the reliability for the optimization problem. And by using DE as the global optimizer, DEMR can optimize the Earth-Moon low-energy transfer trajectory without knowing an exact initial condition. To further validate the performance of DEMR, experiments on benchmark functions have also been done. Compared with peer algorithms on both the Earth-Moon low-energy transfer problem and benchmark functions, DEMR can obtain relatively better results in terms of the quality of the final solutions, robustness, and convergence speed.

A multi-step control of chaos method is proposed in this paper to reduce the flight time in the chaotic region of Earth-Moon low-energy orbit transfer. According to the motion regularity and the fact that the chaos orbit is highly sensitive to the initial conditions in the circular restricted three-body system, the optimal perturbation of chaos control at each step is calculated by the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm, and then the low-energy earth-moon orbit transfer trajectory is obtained. This proposed method can efficiently construct the Earth-Moon low-energy orbit transfer trajectory without the relying on the periodic orbits and the requirement of random search, and the corresponding flight time in chaotic motion can be significantly reduced. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the correctness and efficiency of this proposed method.
