by Cosimo Casini Planning the optimal trajectory of an interplanetary space mission allows to save large amounts of fuel and time. Such a task can be modelled as a constrained global optimization problem. However, solving the resulting model is extremely
Improved space trajectories found by an undergraduate student at GOL
An undergraduate student, Tommaso Aldinucci, working for his first level degree thesis in Information Engineering at GOL, found as many as 6 improved trajectories for the Tandem mission test set maintained by ESA. The new improved routes are now available
