Escape Trajectory Design

Escape Trajectory Design is a computational methodology in astrodynamics that determines the optimal path and propulsion requirements for a human-rated spacecraft to safely disengage from a gravitational body or hazardous environment during launch or orbital operations, distinguishing itself from general trajectory design by prioritizing crew safety, abort capability, and real-time adaptability under emergency conditions.
