Evolutionary Optimization of Multirendezvous Impulsive Trajectories

Table 3

Attained solutions at successive stages of the optimization process. GA refers to the solutions of the outer-level problem; EOS time-fixed and EOS time-free refer to the refined solutions at the end of the inner-level optimization, by assuming the rendezvous epochs fixed or free to be optimized, respectively.
