A space vehicle in an orbit around a spherical planet is considered. It is proposed to bring the vehicle, by a series of orbital maneuvers, into a final orbit. It is sought to minimize the total characteristic velocity for the maneuver. Since for a high-thrust propulsion system the characteristic velocity provides a direct measure of the fuel consumption, the optimal trajectory considered yields the minimum fuel expenditure. It is assumed that the planet is surrounded by a spherical atmosphere.
