This paper presents a new approach to optimal trajectory design that considers uncertainties in the system, referred to herein as robust trajectory optimization. This approach assumes an existing reference trajectory and optimizes the locations of midcourse correction burns and utilization of onboard navigation sensors to minimize dispersions in ∆v or final position. Navigation errors, maneuver execution errors, orbit insertion errors, and environmental modeling errors are considered. The application in this paper is cislunar flight with the goal of injecting into a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit for rendezvous with a target vehicle. Two complementary optimization problems are proposed. One problem minimizes the total ∆v dispersion subject to a final position dispersion constraint. The other problem minimizes the final position dispersion subject to a total ∆v dispersion constraint. The results from each optimization problem are shown for a complete mission profile.
