Abstract

In this paper, an analytical solution, which includes the short periodic terms, for the problem of optimal time-fixed low-thrust limited power transfers (no rendezvous), in an inverse-square force field, between coplanar orbits with small eccentricities is described. This solution is derived through canonical transformation theory. Some numerical results based on the analytical solution are presented for a preliminary analysis of interplanetary missions.
