	  abstract     = {This paper presents the use of Legendre pseudospectral
method for the optimization of finite-thrust orbital transfer for
spacecrafts. In order to get an accurate solution, the System-s
dynamics equations were normalized through a dimensionless method.
The Legendre pseudospectral method is based on interpolating
functions on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto (LGL) quadrature nodes. This
is used to transform the optimal control problem into a constrained
parameter optimization problem. The developed novel optimization
algorithm can be used to solve similar optimization problems of
spacecraft finite-thrust orbital transfer. The results of a numerical
simulation verified the validity of the proposed optimization method.
The simulation results reveal that pseudospectral optimization method
is a promising method for real-time trajectory optimization and
provides good accuracy and fast convergence.},
