Authors propose to use locally-optimal control laws for the solar sail control model. We used previously obtained by the authors locally-optimal control laws for chosen interplanetary missions. The obtained laws can provide rapid change of Keplerian elements or stabilize its values. Authors offer an approach for combination of these laws. To confirm the result correctness authors simulated the heliocentric motion of the solar sail spacecraft to the selected planet. Model of solar sail spacecraft called Helios is designed by students of Samara State Aerospace University. We define heliocentric motion of the solar sail spacecraft via Keplerian elements. Authors used combination technique for locally-optimal control laws to obtained several trajectories for interplanetary missions. The distinctive feature of the proposed method that parameters of osculating elements are used as destination phase coordinates.Read More
