Abstract EN
The coplanar orbit transfer problem has been an important topic in astrodynamics since the beginning of the space era.
Though many approximate solutions for power-limited orbit transfer problem have been developed, most of them rely on simplifications of the dynamics of the problem.
This paper proposes a new approximation method called primer vector approximation method to solve the classic power-limited orbit transfer problem.
This method makes no simplification on the dynamics, but instead approximates the optimal primer-vector function.
With this method, this paper derives two approximate solutions for the power-limited orbit transfer problem.
Numerical tests show the robustness and accuracy of the approximations.
