Abstract A novel Adaptive Parallel Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration (AP-FAPI) method is proposed to meet the requirements of various aerospace missions for fast and accurate orbit propagation. The Parallel Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration (P-FAPI) method is an advanced iterative collocation method. With large-step computing and parallel acceleration, the P-FAPI method outperforms the traditional finite-difference-based methods, which require small-step and serial integration to ensure accuracy. Although efficient and accurate, the P-FAPI method suffers extensive trials in tuning method parameters, strongly influencing its performance. To overcome this problem, we propose the AP-FAPI method based on the relationship between the parameters More >
