Families of Two-Impulse Optimal Rendezvous Transfers Between Elliptic Orbits

Beom Park, Jaemyung Ahn, Jaewoo Kim, Kathleen C. Howell

Optimal two-impulse rendezvous solutions between elliptic orbits connect into continuous families when the problem is re-parameterized.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

when re-parameterized appropriately, seemingly unrelated optima are revealed to be connected members of continuous solution families

C2weakest assumption

that enforcing a subset of first-order necessary optimality conditions permits reliable numerical continuation of one-parameter families without missing branches or encountering singularities under orbital geometry variations

C3one line summary

Optimal two-impulse rendezvous transfers between elliptic orbits form continuous families that can be traced and classified via numerical continuation on first-order optimality conditions.
