Method of obtaining the primer vector curves solution based on the fuzzy inference

Primer vector method is a geometric method for obtaining optimal solutions of the rendezvous between elliptical orbits of low eccentricity. Aimed at the problem of obtaining the primer vector curves for the optimal solutions, a new method based on fuzzy inference is proposed. In this method, the optimal solution is achieved without human intervention. As a result, the efficiency of primer vector method is significantly improved. An example application of this revised primer vector method is provided to demonstrate its validity and practicability of resolving an optimal four-impulse, fixed-time rendezvous problem.
