Optimizing the Glide Trajectory to and around Earth-Sun L1

GLIDE (Global Lyman-alpha Imagers of the Dynamic Exosphere) is a small satellite mission that will help researchers understand the upper reaches of Earths atmosphere the exosphere. The goal of this satellite is to study variability in Earths exosphere by tracking far ultraviolet light emitted from hydrogen. The satellite will be stationed in the Earth-Sun L1 point to give it an uninterrupted view of the Sun. My focus is to optimize the GLIDE trajectory to and around the Earth-Sun L1 point to minimize the required delta-v to reduce the expense of rocket propellant.
