Fuel-optimal Trajectories

Fuel-Optimal Trajectories is a trajectory optimization method that determines the minimum propellant consumption path for orbital transfers by leveraging impulsive maneuvers at apoapsis and periapsis, distinguishing it from other trajectory designs through its adherence to the principles of the Hohmann transfer as the most fuel-efficient two-impulse solution in coplanar circular orbits.
