Figure 57: Number of sequences requiring low-thrust <strong>optimization</strong> as a function of the number of<br />

sequences evaluated in the branch-<strong>and</strong>-bound tree, <strong>for</strong> the full GTOC2 problem, assuming an initial<br />

lower bound of 100 kg/yr.<br />

# Sequences Evaluated in Branch-<strong>and</strong>-Bound Tree<br />

Figure 58: Number of sequences requiring low-thrust <strong>optimization</strong> as a function of the number of<br />

sequences evaluated in the branch-<strong>and</strong>-bound tree, <strong>for</strong> the modified GTOC2 problem, assuming an<br />

initial lower bound of 100 kg/yr.<br />

Based on the results in Table 26 <strong>and</strong> Figure 57, in order to locate eight of the top<br />
