    De-orbital problem Numerical method for OIPs Definition (Optimal control problem (OCP) for OIP) Given every initial point ( xi , m i ) 2 P ⇥ R⇤ + and ⌧ max > 0, the optimal control problem for OIP consists of steering a satellite by ⌧(·) 2 T (⌧ max ) on a time interval [0, t f ] such that, along the controlled trajectory ( r (t), v (t), m(t)) = (t, ⌧(t), xi , m i ), the time t f is the first occurence for k r (t f )k = r p ( r (t f ), v (t f )), i.e., k r (t)k > r p ( r (t), v (t)) on [0, t f ), and r p ( r (t f ), v (t f )) is maximized, i.e., the cost functional is J = Z tf 0 d dt r p ( r (t), v (t))dt. Let ˜ t f > 0 be the optimal final time of the OCP for OIP, and let (˜ x (·), ˜ m(·)) on [0, ˜ t f ] be the optimal controlled trajectory associated with the optimal control ˜ ⌧ 2 T (⌧ max ). According to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we define a function s : R+ ! R, s(⌧) = r p (˜ x (˜ t f )) r c . s is a function of ⌧ max and a simple bisection method can solve ˜ ⌧ max such that s(˜ ⌧ max ) = 0.
