contents A method is presented to solve a stochastic, nonlinear optimal control problem representative of spacecraft trajectory design under uncertainty. The problem is reformulated as a chance constrained nonlinear program, or what is known as a distribution steering problem. Typical distribution steering problems rely on the underlying uncertainties to be Gaussian distributions. This work expands on previous developments by embedding Gaussian mixture distributions into the formulation to better handle the uncertainty propagation and chance constraints involved. The method is applied to a finite-thrust Earth-to-Mars transfer problem. Evaluation via Monte Carlo analysis shows a greater satisfaction of constraints under non-Gaussian distributions of the state and a statistically lower cost.
