Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The investigation of the problem of outer planet missions based on minimagnetospheric plasma propulsion is presented. The concept of minimagnetospheric plasma propulsion is the creation of a large magnetic bubble around the spacecraft and to use the intersection between the artificial magnetic field and the solar wind. The thrust vector is constrained to remain inside a cone whose half-opening angle is equal to the tilted angle Α. The problem can be mathematically translated into an optimal formulation by finding the time histories of the control variables. A set of canonical units have been used in the integration of the differential equations to reduce their numerical sensitivity. The effectiveness of the control law has been demonstrated by simulating interplanetary rendezvous missions to the Jupiter. The simulations reveal significant differences with respect to the results achieved by a two dimensional trajectory model.
