In this paper, optimization of the control of the flight of a small spacecraft (spacecraft) on ion engines to the orbit of Venus is considered, taking into account the attraction of the Earth and the time of departure from the geostationary orbit. When solving the problem, the following assumptions were made: the orbits of the planets are circular, lying in the same plane. A detailed consideration of the influence of Venus when approaching the orbit of the planet was not considered. The problem is solved using the Pontryagin maximum principle by numerical targeting method. The spacecraft motion simulation was divided into 3 stages: acceleration of the spacecraft to a speed that allows overcoming the Earth's attraction with the help of short-term operation of the jet engine, optimization of control near the Earth at a distance of the spacecraft to the Earth of no more than 950 000 km and for the main interorbital flight between planets. The algorithm for solving the problem is implemented in the C++ programming language. Optimal control of the angle of action of the thrust vector is obtained. The analysis of the obtained results showed that, while minimizing the time to reach the orbit of Venus, in addition to significantly influencing the efficiency criterion of the longest interorbital section of the flight, the moment of the start (departure from Earth orbit) is fundamentally important.

In this paper, optimization of the flight of a low-mass satellite from Earth orbit to the orbit of Venus using ion engines is considered. The first flight to the planet took place in 1961 by the Soviet automatic interplanetary station "Venus-1", which passed 100,000 kilometers from Venus. In addition, in 1962, the American station "Mariner-2" was flown. The most recent spacecraft launched to the planet was the European Space Agency's Venus Express in 2005, which flew to Venus in 153 days. When solving the current problem, the following assumptions were made: an interorbital flight is considered without taking into account the attraction of the planets, and the orbits of the planets are considered circular and lying in the same plane. The angle between the tangential velocity of the spacecraft and the thrust direction was chosen as the control. Optimization of satellite control was carried out using the Pontryagin maximum principle. The resulting boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations was solved by a numerical method — the targeting method. Newton's method was used to solve systems of nonlinear algebraic equations. The calculation program was written using the C++ programming language. As a result of the work, it was possible to minimize the flight time between orbits, thus the operability of the shooting method for solving optimization problems was shown.
