Dataset Summary

The Titan-Hohmann-Transfer-Orbit dataset simulates an interplanetary mission to Titan using advanced propulsion systems and gravitational assist techniques. This synthetic dataset is designed to review:

• Trajectory optimization algorithms
• Electric propulsion system modeling
• Mission risk assessment
• Machine learning training for aerospace and trajectory decision-support systems.

Mission Profile

1. Earth Departure: The spaceprobe begins its journey with a launch vehicle, departing Earth’s orbit and entering a heliocentric transfer trajectory.
2. Gravity Assist Phase: The spaceprobe utilizes planetary flybys (e.g., Jupiter) to optimize its trajectory toward Saturn and Titan.
3. Heliocentric Cruise: The spaceprobe completes extended low-thrust propulsion arcs using Hall Effect thrusters, further refining its trajectory.
4. Titan Arrival: Final adjustments are made for spaceprobe orbital insertion to commence Part Two of the mission profile including EDL of floating probes to study Kraken Mare and EDL of a communication relay near Kraken Mare to enable efficient floating probe - earth data transmission.

Columns (Relevant for Foundation Model Training)

1. Initial_Total_Mass

   • Total spaceprobe mass (kg) at the mission start, including fuel and payload.

2. Dry_Mass

   • Spaceprobe mass without propellant (kg), useful for estimating burn times and fuel efficiency.

3. Thrust_Level

   • Thrust output of the Hall Effect thrusters (mN).

4. Launch_Vehicle

   • Categorical data specifying the type of launch vehicle used (e.g., “Falcon Heavy,” “SLS”).

5. Mission_Segment

   • Categorical description of the mission phase (e.g., “Launch,” “Cruise,” “Gravity Assist,” “Titan Arrival”).

6. Time_of_Flight_days

   • Elapsed time from mission start, measured in days.

7. Orbital_Radius_km

   • Radial distance from the central celestial body (e.g., Earth, Sun, or Titan).

8. Semi_Major_Axis_km

   • Semi-major axis of the spaceprobe’s elliptical trajectory (km).

9. Eccentricity

   • Describes the shape of the orbit (0 = circle, <1 = ellipse).

10. Inclination_deg

    • Orbital plane tilt relative to the ecliptic or other reference plane.

11. True_Anomaly_deg

    • Position of the spaceprobe along its orbital path.

12. DeltaV_Used_km_s

    • Total accumulated ∆v (km/s) expended since mission start.

13. Thrust_Events_Start_Time

    • Timestamp indicating the start of a thrust event.

14. Thrust_Events_Stop_Time

    • Timestamp indicating the end of a thrust event.

15. Closest_Approach_Distance_km

    • Distance at closest approach during gravity-assist flybys.

16. Relative_Velocity_km_s

    • Velocity of the spaceprobe relative to the flyby planet or Titan upon approach.

17. Final_Orbit_SMA_km

    • Semi-major axis of the final orbit around Titan (km).

18. Final_Orbit_Inclination_deg

    • Inclination of the spaceprobe’s orbit around Titan after insertion.
