Description
The SOFTT (Space Optimal Finite Thrust Transfer) is a tool designed to compute the spacecraft optimal orbital transfer trajectories using low thrust propulsion system;
SOFTT is able to optimize very long orbital transfers - optimal solutions lasting up to 2 years have been studied - between Earth orbits considering eclipses and perturbations.
SOFTT was developed in Thales Alenia Space Italy to study various low thrust missions like GALILEO (LEO to MEO) and NEO50 (LEO to GEO and GTO to GEO). Among the specific features of the mission studied that will be presented are:
o LEO to GEO in presence of eclipse and perturbations
o Optimal deployment of constellations on multiple planes.
o Perigee altitude constraint
o Vmin solutions"
