The ability to compute end-to-end mission optimized trajectories is a critical component needed for the next generation of complex human spaceflight design and operations (Orion, HLS, Gateway, Mars). This project created a new interface for two of NASA’s trajectory tools: Copernicus and Genesis, enabling them to be used together for end-to-end mission design and optimization of all flight phases, including Earth ascent, lunar ascent, rendezvous, and lunar descent. This capability can also serve as a pathfinder for developing a future autonomous, onboard trajectory optimizer.
