The determination of an orbit, having a specified transfer time (time-of-flight) and connecting two position vectors, frequently referred to as the Lambert problem, is fundamental in astrodynamics. Of the many techniques existing for solving this two-body, two-point, time-constrained orbital boundary-value problem, Gauss' and Lagrange's methods were combined to obtain an elegant algorithm based on...
This paper discusses optimal trajectories for hypervelocity flight of interest in aeroassisted orbital transfer. Both coplanar orbital transfer and noncoplanar orbital transfer are studied. More precisely, the GEO-to-LEO transfer, the HEO-to-LEO transfer, and the LEO-to-LEO transfer are considered in connection with a spacecraft which is controlled during the atmospheric pass via the angle of attack...
