Abstract
The effect of weight limitations on the parameters of the optimum motion of a variable-mass body in a gravitational field is considered. An analysis is made of the optimum motion for three possible propulsion systems: limited exit velocity, limited power, and limited thrust. Solutions are presented for some typical cases. The problems of selecting the optimum weight parameters, finding the optimum propulsion system controls, and determining the optimum trajectory are solved simultaneously.
