The problem presented in this section is a MGADSM problem relative to a mission to the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The fly-by sequence selected is similar to the one planned for the spacecraft Rosetta. The objective function considered is the total mission delta V, including the launcher capabilities.


The code

  1. MATLAB: use the function rosetta.m and pass to it the MGAproblem variable contained in rosetta.mat
  2. C++: call the function "double rosetta(const std::vector & x)" provided in the GTOPtoolbox.
  3. C++ (PaGMO): use the class pagmo::problem::rosetta
  4. Python 2.7 (PyGMO): use PyGMO.problem.rosetta().obj_fun(x)
