Software for the computation of optimal satellite trajectories was used to investigate the problem of rendezvous with comet Bus and subsequently returning to Earth. The investigation was carried out for a number of different power levels. On a number of these the optimization algorithm produced a solution in which the sign of the switching function was incorrect over all or part of the trajectory. Investigations indicate that this implies that an incorrect pattern of thrust and coast arcs was specified, and the method adopted for using this information to determine the correct pattern is described.
