A system of variables is proposed that is convenient for the precise formulation of the problem of optimal multiple-impulse transfer between arbitrary nonrectilinear Kepler orbits. The existence of a universal two-impulse transfer with transverse impulses is demonstrated for such orbits. Calculation formulas for these impulses are obtained which generalize the corresponding formulas of two-impulse Hohmann transfer between circular orbits. In addition, a lower-bound estimate is obtained for the characteristic velocity of a one-impulse transfer between orbits having a common point, and the nonoptimality of an arbitrary radial impulse is demonstrated.
