Optimization Strategies for Space Flight Mechanics
Explore the application of optimization techniques in space flight mechanics, focusing on the analysis of Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. Discover the use of swarm behavioral patterns and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine optimal solutions for orbital missions. Dive into results and potential future directions in space exploration.
