Mission Design

Mission Design is a systematic engineering framework that specifies the trajectory, orbital maneuvers, and operational constraints for spacecraft formations within the gravitational dynamics of the restricted three-body problem, distinguished by its integration of relative motion modeling and mission-level objectives to achieve feasible and optimal spatial configurations.
