If two or more teams have the same performance index J, the tie would be broken first by the final spacecraft mass (higher is better), and if that is also tied, then time of flight would be the second tie-breaker (lower is better).

Dear GTOC6 teams and interested researchers,

In response to questions from several teams, please find attached
a consolidated Problem Description document, which includes:

** the changes and clarifications made public to date
** A new "examples" section in the appendix
** A "Change Log" summarising all changes since the initial
release.

The nature and parameters of the problem have not changed.

Also attached is an updated gtoc6_traj_format.tct file (the only
change is that the incidental reference frame indicated in the
comments is now corrected).

And lastly, the updated team list is attached.

I look forward to receiving your solutions in a few days!

Best regards,

Hi Dr. Petropoulos,

I have a question regarding the output trajectory files. Is it ok to have variable step size outputs? Our default variable step size propagator will generate reasonable sized files but it may not strictly follow your suggested "1, 0.25, 0.005" time steps. Some may go around 5 days (in the beginning) and some may go below 0.005 days.  Is that acceptable? or you have to have fixed time steps?

thanks,

Min

Dear Min,

We can make an accommodation for variable step size, however, please
use the stated timesteps as the maximum allowable for each of the
three ranges of r. So, in the beginning (largest r range), 5 days is
too long - it must be 1 day or less.

Thank you,

-anastassios
