System for high efficiency spacecraft orbit transfer

   
   

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for transferring a spacecraft from a first orbit to a second orbit. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises calculating thruster-off regions within an orbit transfer in which it is efficient to turn-off spacecraft thrusters, and in those thruster-off regions, turning off the spacecraft thrusters.

La actual invención se relaciona generalmente con los sistemas y los métodos para transferir una nave espacial de una primera órbita a una segunda órbita. De acuerdo con una encarnación de la invención, el método abarca regiones calculadoras del empujador-apagado dentro de una transferencia de la órbita en la cual sea eficiente a los empujadores turn-off de la nave espacial, y en esas regiones del empujador-apagado, dando vuelta de los empujadores de la nave espacial.
