ABSTRACT

This paper presents the method of solving the equations of motions by evolutionary algorithms. Starting from random trajectory, the solution is obtained by accepting the mutation if it leads to a better approximations of Newton’s second law. The general method is illustrated by finding trajectory to the Moon.
