Abstract
Evolutionary optimization methods have proven efficient in optimal transfer and orbit determination. This paper investigates the suitability of a Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) scheme for finding optimal transfer trajectories required for a fuel-efficient formation reconfiguration. It achieves this by comparing the search results for optimal transfer trajectories using QPSO, with traditional PSO. Given an initially clustered formation, a configuration, based on satellite coverage requirements, is set as the final configuration which the cluster aims to achieve, with minimal fuel consumption. Results show that QPSO had a better performance compared to traditional PSO, yielding faster convergence, higher accuracy, as well as better reliability to evade local minima by exploring a wider search spread.
