Tool 1
CHEBYTOP v 6.1ss - Chebyshev polynomial Trajectory Optimization Program (CHEBYTOP) is an easy to use, low-fidelity low-thrust interplanetary trajectory tool for “first-look” type analyses. This tool uses a Chebyshev polynomial approximation method to generate trajectories. Due to the nature of low-fidelity tools, this is a limited application tool. This tool is an ideal starting place for 1st-year graduate students (or equiv.) pursuing research in the area of low-thrust trajectory analysis. + Read More
Tool 2
MALTO v4.2.5 - The Mission Analysis Low Thrust Optimization (MALTO) program is used to perform medium fidelity low-thrust trajectory analysis and mission design. MALTO can also perform trade space investigation of up to 3 dimensions. Other uses for this tool include providing initial guesses for Mystic, Copernicus & OTIS when it's necessary. MALTO has some capability to perform high thrust analysis as well. + Read More

Copernicus v11/16/05 - Generalized Spacecraft Trajectory Design and Optimization System, low and high fidelity mission & trajectory design tool. + Read More
Tool 4
SNAP v2.3 - Simulated N-body Analysis Program and Optimization System, low and high fidelity mission & trajectory design tool. + Read More
