General Question The Space Game

[MikeB]

ESA has released The Space Game (http://www.thespacegame.org/) with a trajectory-planning challenge. Which of our orbinauts will win, and what tools will you use?

No time to participate, but I'd sure use the Orbiter Navigator...

ESA's approach to parallelised trajectory optimisation?? Let as many people as possible try, and pick the best solution. I guess that's one way to deal with local minima ...

I gave it a quick twirl and came up with a delta-v of about 18 km/s - way off the highscore. I guess I won't be employed by ESA as a node in their human parallel processor.
