Mapped Adjoint Control Transformation, MACT

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

A technique to expand the convergence domain of indirect optimal control methods by mapping costate variables to a transformed parameter space, reducing sensitivity to initial costate guesses. Especially effective for very low-thrust transfers requiring hundreds of spiral revolutions.

Application Value

The 映射伴随控制变换 concept is applied in cislunar space research, providing technical support or analytical methods for lunar exploration missions.
