We analyze complex gravitational environments (Sun–Earth, Earth–Moon) to uncover dynamical structures that enable efficient transfers and sustainable operations. Our work translates multi-body dynamical structures such as periodic orbits, resonance orbits, and manifolds into trajectories that remain feasible under real perturbations and constraints.
We develop optimization methods that reliably produce trajectories for both low-thrust and impulsive missions. The emphasis is on constraint-aware, robust pipelines that scale from early design space exploration to flight-credible solutions with margins and sensitivity.
We advance research through mission participation, ensuring our methods reflect real interfaces, schedules, and operational constraints. This closes the loop between theory and flight by integrating trajectory design with systems coordination, verification logic, and launch/operations planning.
