Abstract: Abstract This paper takes a revisit of the fuel-optimal four-impulse rendezvous problem near circular orbits. For coplanar impulsive rendezvous based on the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire (HCW) equations, the primer vector hodograph for an optimal four-impulse rendezvous is… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract A novel semi-analytic approach is developed to determine the minimum Δ V for a two-impulse rendezvous and validated both empirically and analytically. A previously published closed-form Δ V estimate and the Lambert minimum energy… read more here.
