Abstract
The optimization of the satellite trajectory is a product of the control thrust optimization. Using the Lambert theory formulation this paper considers the problem of a minimum fuel solution of the Lambert formulation by making use of Brainstorm Optimization (BSO). The traditional use of the Lambert formulation for generating control inputs typically pursues time dependent solutions. This paper adapted this formulation to satellite formation control to achieve fuel minimization. The numerical simulations show the feasibility of our method in obtaining minimum fuel solutions of the lambert formulation in contrast to the usual minimum time solution.
