Definition
A differential correction strategy that seeks the solution minimizing the norm of velocity corrections while satisfying multiple constraints. Compared to standard targeting, this approach produces the smallest corrections, keeping transfer trajectories in the higher-fidelity ephemeris model close to the original CR3BP design. The paper uses this method to transition CR3BP solutions into the ephemeris model while preserving geometric characteristics.
Application Value
