The finite Fourier series shape-based approach for fast initial trajectory design satisfies the equations of motion and other problem constraints at discrete points by using a nonlinear programming solver to design the Fourier coefficients. In this paper, the finite Fourier series approach is extended to account for the necessary conditions for optimality during the Fourier coefficient design. The proposed method uses the approximate trajectories to analytically estimate the costates at these discrete points by employing a finite difference technique on the adjoint differential equations. Lagrange multipliers associated with any terminal state constraints are determined using an auxiliary function. Residual errors in the stationarity condition are reduced through the objective function, with the Legendre–Clebsch condition enforced as a nonlinear inequality constraint; applying these two conditions finds suboptimal solutions without an excessive loss of computational efficiency. Test cases use steering angle and thrust acceleration magnitude controls and span Earth-escape spirals, geostationary spacecraft rendezvous, and phasing maneuvers. The presented results demonstrate the proposed method’s ability to achieve trajectories closer to the optimal solution.
