Astrodynamics

a low-thrust orbit transfer guidance law that steers thrust to reduce a Lyapunov proximity quotient measuring distance from the target orbit.

In astrodynamics, Q-law refers to a low-thrust orbit transfer guidance law that steers thrust to reduce a Lyapunov proximity quotient measuring distance from the target orbit. This meaning comes from Petropoulos (2004) in AIAA/AAS Astrodynamics Specialist Conference and Exhibit.[1]
