Exact algebraic solutions are presented to 4 problems in optimizing transfers; absolute optimum 2-impulse transfer from circular or apsidal terminal to outer elliptical orbit is Hohmann transfer to outer apogee, whereas optimum transfer from elliptical orbit to outer circular or apsidal terminal is Hohmann transfer from perigee to inner orbit; 2-impulse transfers can be made from any terminal on elliptical orbit more economically than 1-impulse transfer.
