The paper defines reflective-sail weak stability boundary structures and uses them with a locally optimal energy-rate control law to construct Earth-escape trajectories in the Sun-Earth PCR3BP that show shorter flight times and higher hyperbolic excess velocity than ballistic escapes.

Reflective-Sail Weak Stability Boundary Structure with the Locally Optimal Control Law
The paper defines reflective-sail weak stability boundary structures and uses them with a locally optimal energy-rate control law to construct Earth-escape trajectories in the Sun-Earth PCR3BP that show shorter flight times and higher hyperbolic excess velocity than ballistic escapes.
