Record Solutions on Space Mission Benchmarks
Since 2005 the Advanced Concept Team (ACT) of the the European Space Agency (ESA) makes available a set of challenging space mission benchmarks, known as the GTOP database. MIDACO holds currently the record solutions on the GTOC1, Cassini2 and Messenger (Full Version) instances. The Messenger problem is known to be the hardest benchmark in this set. Note that the total time between the first and last solution submission on this benchmark took over 4.5 Years. MIDACO currently holds the first, second and third record solution on this benchmark, whereas the first and second record solution is very close to the original Messenger Trajectory launched by NASA in 2004.
