This book provides a comprehensive introduction to, and application of, heuristic search methods, specifically the genetic algorithm, for use with mission sets operating in multi-body gravitational systems. Detailed dynamical and mission models, as well as accompanying space-focused scenarios will allow the reader to implement different forms of the genetic algorithm to find Pareto optimal architectures within a multi-objective optimization problem. This book covers the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and delivers the first treatment of a scalable genetic algorithm employing a categorical chromosome form in book format. Although the book focuses on the space situational awareness (SSA) mission with space-based and lunar surface architectures, the heuristic techniques contained herein can be applied to other mission sets, such as positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), communications, and space logistics.
This book gives the reader a singular reference for space domain architecture analysis and optimal search as the focus of mission development and planning continues to expand into cislunar space, low lunar orbit, and the lunar surface. It is meant for the beginning researcher and expert astronautical engineer alike, with detailed mathematical algorithms and application scenarios allowing for a wide range of skill-sets and acclimation to heuristic search methods to use genetic algorithms in order to solve complex multi-objective optimization problems. The book provides a go-to source for students, teachers, engineers, and mission planners for investigating space system architecture design for space-based and lunar surface applications in the Earth-Moon and Mars-Phobos-Deimos systems, and anywhere else in the Solar System required for a given mission.

About the Author
Dr. Jacob Dahlke is an astronautical engineer and attained his doctorate at the Air Force Institute of Technology in 2024, where he specialized in multi-body dynamics and the application of genetic algorithms to determine optimal architectures for space-based space situational awareness (SSA) sensors in cislunar space.
Dr. Robert Bettinger is an Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology. He serves as the Curriculum Chair of the Astronautical Engineering program and teaches courses in multi-body gravitational dynamics, spacecraft survivability, atmospheric reentry, and space law/policy.
Mr. Clint Spesard is an astronautical engineer and attained his Master of Science at the Air Force Institute of Technology in 2024, where he studied multi-body dynamics and the application of genetic algorithms to determine optimal architectures for lunar surface sensors to conduct cislunar SSA.
Dr. Bruce Cox is an Associate Professor of Data Science at the Air Force Institute of Technology. His research focuses, in part, on developing and utilizing heuristic search techniques, deterministic optimization, and synergistic pipelines of machine learning techniques to transform data into information.

Terms of sale
We accept return for those books which are received damamged. Though we take appropriate care in packaing to avoid such situation.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, Woodside, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
