Definition
A binary measure indicating whether transit trajectories exist for given combinations of low-thrust acceleration magnitude, thrust angle, and low-thrust Hamiltonian value.
Application Value
When designing low-thrust Earth-Moon transfer trajectories, the first step is to evaluate whether feasible transit orbits exist for the given thrust parameter combinations, avoiding wasted search effort in infeasible regions. This binary assessment quickly eliminates invalid solutions and improves orbit design efficiency.
