    HELIOS: An LLM-Driven Autonomous Indirect Trajectory Optimization Agent

    An-yi Huang

    astro-ph.IM · cs.AI · cs.RO

    Low-thrust trajectory optimization is a core technology in deep-space mission design. Indirect methods based on Pontryagin's Minimum Principle (PMP) offer rigorous optimality guarantees, yet their practical application faces three bottlenecks: (1) transversality conditions must be derived case by case for each constraint type; (2) different dynamics models require repeated code rewrites; and (3) shooting equations are highly sensitive to...
