Abstract: Abstract:Dynamic of solar sail and method of trajectory design have been analyzed. Then the control forces calculated by the control strategy are added into the STK orbit propagator, which is realized through the STK plugin coded by MATLAB. The simulation results show that the methods proposed can realize expeditiously and efficiently that STK/MATLAB coordinated work to neatly support control simulation of special force model such as solar sail dynamic, and the abundant capabilities of STK are suitable for designing and analysising the complex space mission.

Key words: Keywords:complex trajectory design, STK, solar sail, low thrust control
