Scientific paper

Battin's work on optimal one impulse transfers from circular orbits is extended. Optimal one impulse trajectories from orbits of arbitrary eccentricity through a specified point are determined. This work is then further extended to optimal two impulse transfers between massive planets. Curves derived using this technique are presented showing flyby and rendezvous Delta V requirements for all combinations of launch and arrival true anomalies. Similar curves for times of flight corresponding to the trajectories with minimum total Delta V are derived using Lambert's methods. Possible further extension of these techniques are outlined. The use of these curves for mission design is presented in a companion paper by Hulkower and Ross (1971).
