Minimum Transfer Time for a Power-Limited RocketSource: Journal of Applied Mechanics:;1961:;volume( 028 ):;issue: 002::page 171Author:George Leitmann

Abstract: The problem considered is that of determining the acceleration program leading to minimum transfer time for a power-limited rocket moving between prescribed positions and velocities in a constant gravitational field. It is found that flight must take place at maximum power and that the thrust-acceleration components are linear functions of time. The case of rectilinear transfer between positions of rest is treated in detail, and the results are compared with those previously obtained for a constant-acceleration transfer.
