Abstract

This paper investigates the use of a variable chromosome transcription to enable construction and global optimization of multi-phase trajectory problems by an automated global optimization framework for multi-body problems. We demonstrate how the variable chromosome transcription operates with NSGA-II, a multi-objective genetic algorithm, to select number of phases and phase types for impulsive and low-thrust missions in three-body transfer problems. For both impulsive and low-thrust transfers, we show how our framework with the variable chromosome transcription naturally converges GA populations to phasespecific groups on multi-objective fronts.
