Trajectory design

Trajectory design involves planning the path an object takes through space, such as a spacecraft's journey from Earth to another planet. It considers factors like the object's starting point, destination, speed, and gravitational influences to determine the most efficient route. The goal is to optimize parameters such as fuel use, travel time, and safety. Using mathematical models and simulations, scientists and engineers create a detailed plan that ensures the spacecraft follows the desired trajectory, accounting for various forces and adjustments needed along the way. This process is essential for successful space missions and satellite deployments.
