Augmented Hohmann Transfer for Spacecraft with Continuous-Thrust Propulsion System

Hohmann transfer is the classical approach used in astrodynamics to analyze the optimal bi-impulsive transfer, from the point of view of the total velocity change, between two circular, coplanar orbits of assigned radius. The Hohmann transfer is characterized by an elliptical trajectory tangent to b...
