Preface
In recent years, space missions with the destinations to planets and small solar system bodies have become more and more popular. For missions to such kind of celestial bodies, one challenge comes from the trajectory design and optimization of mission transfer that requires low energy, e.g., utilizing the continuous low thrust and invariant manifold. The other challenge is the strong perturbation on the spacecraft’s motion from the highly irregular gravity field. This book provides an overview of the major issues related to the development of low-energy flight and includes the continuous low-thrust transfer between the near earth asteroids using the solar sailing and
