Receding Horizon Targeting

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Definition

A numerical method for constructing long-duration nominal orbits in the ephemeris model. It decomposes the integration into short segments, applying targeting corrections at each segment boundary to maintain accuracy. Suitable for cases like NRHOs where direct differential correction over years fails to converge, at the cost of small velocity discontinuities (~1 mm/s per revolution).

Application Value

This term has significant practical applications in cislunar mission planning and execution.
