Effects of Discrete Thrust Levels on the Trajectory Design of the BIT-3 RF Ion Thruster-Equipped CubeSat

The use of continuous-thrust propulsion systems allows spacecraft to cover complex space trajectories and to complete missions that would be difficult using chemical thrusters. Among the continuous-thrust propulsion systems proposed in recent decades, solar electric thrusters occupy an important pos...
