Optimal Cotangential Orbital Transfer Maneuvers

摘要: In this paper, optimal two impulses cotangential orbital transfer maneuvers is developed for which: 1. Both the inner and orbits are of arbitrary shapes (circular, elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic). 2. The applied tangentially at general points not necessarily to be apsides. solution problem thus; determination of, semi- major axis eccentricity orbit, total impulse complete which gives minimum velocity increment. Some numerical applications also included.
