Description
Summary:The analysis of the optimal controls ensuring the minimization of the con-sumption of the working fluid of an electric propulsion (EP) of a space-craft that makes a flight between close elliptical orbits is provided. Whenmodeling the thrust of the EP, features of its generation in the plasmaEPs and the volt-ampere characteristics of a solar battery are accountedfor. In illustrative examples, the shadow effect on the efficiency of the EPoperation was studied. It is shown that there are such relations of locationand duration of the shadow arcs of the transfer trajectory, in which theshadow does not affect the quality of the optimal maneuver performance.
