The paper identifies the existence of special (characteristic) points on the family of dependences of the mass of the body pulled by an interorbital tug with electrorocket engines on the initial mass of the tug and the time of electrorocket-engine operation for given values of the propulsion-system power, the separated mass, and the characteristic velocity of the tug. Expressions for the characteristic points are obtained, making it possible to determine lower bounds on the specific impulse of the electrorocket engine.
