Scientific paper

An analytical investigation of the characteristics of spacecraft transfer from the orbit around the earth to that of a small planet in the solar system is performed based on an approximate impulse solution. The optimal geocentric energy of the spacecraft at the end of the boosting period near the earth is obtained, and the analysis is also performed using the numerical integration of the spacecraft motion equations. Good agreement for the energy and time characteristics is achieved with both methods. The variation of spacecraft parameters with respect to the geocentric energy after the boosting period and the heliocentric thrust is also investigated.
