Abstract

An optimization problem for the interplanetary transfer of a spacecraft with bimodal nuclear rocket engine is formulated. The transfer trajectory combines high- and low-thrust phases. The necessary optimality conditions are analyzed. The solution for a 180-day Earth–Mars transfer is presented
