Implementation of a Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization Algorithm for Preliminary Design (2006, background): “F = ( 4 ) As shown in Fig. 1, the trajectory is propagated from the control node to the match point as a sequence of twobody (conic) coasts separated by impulsive ∆Vs representing the low thrust acceleration over a thrust segment.”
Dawn Mission to Vesta and Ceres (2007, background): “A more detailed description of the spacecraft has been written by Rayman et al. (2006).”
