CHEBYTOP v6.1ss -  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.
