Minimum-time Transfer

Minimum-Time Transfer is a trajectory optimization method in orbital mechanics that determines the optimal spacecraft transfer between two position vectors in the minimum possible time under the constraints of Lambert's problem, distinguished from other transfer methods by its explicit minimization of flight duration.
