abstract = "In this work, the problem of optimization of interplanetary
trajectories with minimum fuel consumption, but with a time limit
is studied. A methodology known as the Patched Conics was used,
where the trajectory is divided into three parts: 1) departure
phase, inside of the sphere of influence of the departure planet,
2) heliocentric phase, during the journey between the planets; 3)
arrival phase, inside the sphere of influence of the arrival
planet. Furthermore, was considered the possibility of
gravitational assisted maneuvers (swing-by) to reduce the fuel
consumption. In this case the full trajectory would be divided
into more parts, depending on the number of maneuvers. Therefore,
the goal of this work is to find a combination of conical
trajectories, using gravitational assisted maneuvers, which
perform the transfer from a nearby of the departure planet to the
vicinity of the arrival planet, spending a minimal fuel with
minimal time for the journey. Considering the minimization of the
time, the solution cannot be the solution of minimum fuel
consumption, because the minimization of time and the minimization
of the fuel are conflicting objectives. Thus, a multi-objective
problem must be solved. Hence, was used a methodology based on the
Non Inferiority Criterion (Pareto1, 1909) and the Smallest Loss
Criterion (Rocco2 et al. 2003), capable of considering multiple
objectives simultaneously, without reducing the problem to the
case of optimizing a single objective as occur in the most methods
found in the literature. A mission to Pluto, similar to the NASAs
New Horizons Mission, was studied considering gravitational
assisted maneuvers in Jupiter and Saturn. Simulating the
trajectories and the maneuvers using the Transfer Trajectory
Design Programs (Sukhanov3, 2004), several possibilities were
analyzed for many combinations of fuel consumption, time of
departure, time of arrival and planet used for the swing-by. Then,
using the Multi-Objective Optimization Program (Rocco4, 2002) the
problem was solved seeking the best combination. The results can
provide a good assistance for the mission analysis reducing the
cost and time.",
