Trajectory Design is a methodological framework within aerospace engineering and applied mathematics that determines the optimal path and maneuver sequence for a spacecraft transitioning between celestial bodies or orbital regimes, distinguished by its integration of orbital mechanics, propulsion constraints, and mission objectives to achieve fuel-efficient, time-effective, and technologically feasible interplanetary or orbital trajectories.
