What is it about?

Spacecraft using low-thrust propulsion must thrust for long periods of time, but sometimes unexpectedly can't thrust when they are supposed to. We develop a new technique that allows us to find paths for the spacecraft that are robust to these unexpected events while still using a minimum amount of fuel.
