Trajectory Optimization of a Spaceship with Direct Single Shooting and Direct Transcription

Trajectory Optimization for Reaching Goal Position

Description

In this project, trajectory optimization methods are compared in a target-reaching task, where direct shooting optimizes over the control only whereas direct transcription enforces physics as a constraint and simultaneously optimizes over the control and the state. Finally, an orbit tracking problem is solved within a limited time of actuation by employing model predictive control and solving the optimization problem with longer horizons.
