title = "Direct solutions of optimal orbit transfers using collocation based on Jacobi polynomials",
abstract = "The development of a method for finding accurate numerical solutions to optimal control problems is described. In this method, the solution time history is discretized and polynomial interpolants are used to approximate solutions over subintervals of the time history. These polynomials are computed using collocation point selection based on Jacobi polynomials. The resulting polynomial interpolants take on the form of a family of modified-Gaussian integration rules known as the Gauss-Lobatto rules. These integration rules are applied to solving an optimal orbit transfer problem and the benefits in terms of numerical accuracy are demonstrated.",
