Abstract

This paper examines a plane problem of minimum time orbital transfer in a central gravitational field between two points located at predetermined distances from the centre of attraction. It is assumed that the engine of the spaceship develops an acceleration constant in magnit­ude. The use of the Lagrange method leads to the solution of a boundary problem for the system of differential equations.
