Halo Orbit Differential Corrector Paper
Hello All,I added a research paper by Nath to the stellar page that discusses the computation of Halo orbits using the differential corrector approach I discussed in the lecture on Monday. This paper outlines how to compute the state transition matrix using numerical integration.
Title: "Precise halo orbit design and optimal transfer to halo orbits from Earth using differential evolution"
Let me know if you have any questions!
