title = "Solar sailing Apophis rendezvous mission with fuel-fixed delta-v",
abstract = "The subject of this paper is the trajectory design and optimization for Apophis rendezvous missions by using solar sailing. An ideally reflective sail model is utilized in the two body dynamic equations. Hyperbolic excess velocities at the departure and rendezvous points are considered with a fixed maximum magnitude. The time optimal control problem is solved by using an indirect method yielding a two point boundary value problem. Numerical examples and discussions are presented for a near term realistic solar sail in a characteristic acceleration of 1 mm/s2. The highest impulsive velocity is no more than 5 km/s. The effect of departure excess velocities, arrival velocities and their combinations are investigated in a parametric way. The time optimal trajectories are studied with different impulsive velocities with launch windows after January 1, 2013 in a synodic period of the Earth and Apophis.",
