About this technology

Overview

It builds a trade space of planetary arrival trajectories and provides a user interface to visualize and filter the data. Traditional approaches to planetary arrival trajectory design are typically limited to single design points by a mission designer with initially little input from technologists and scientists. We seek a way to quickly and comprehensively build a total trade space of arrival trajectories. Our visualization approach is tailored for use by scientists, technologists, and engineers to facilitate concurrent design
