Shape-based Trajectory Optimization

Shape-Based Trajectory Optimization is a trajectory design methodology that belongs to the class of indirect optimization techniques and is distinguished by its use of predefined geometric shapes to parameterize the spacecraft's path, enabling analytical or semi-analytical solutions to boundary value problems in orbital mechanics.
