Abstract

A highly accurate algorithm for synthesizing chains of cranking gravity-assist maneuvers (GAMs) has been constructed using formalization of the search for ballistic scenarios followed by the adaptive involvement of tens of millions of variants. Its use results in a significant change in the orbital inclination of a research spacecraft without a significant expenditure of propellant with a reasonable mission time.
