A terrestrial-based system for is described herein that can determine a minimum time transfer for an extraterrestrial vehicle. The terrestrial-based system comprises a memory that stores computer-executable instructions. The terrestrial-based system further comprises a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: derive an averaged equation of motion for the extraterrestrial vehicle; determine an initial guess of a first value of a costate of the extraterrestrial vehicle; determine the first value of the costate for the minimum time transfer in averaged orbit dynamics; determine a second value of the costate for the minimum time transfer in full-state orbit dynamics; generate instructions for causing the extraterrestrial vehicle to travel along an optimal transfer in full-state orbit dynamics; and cause the extraterrestrial vehicle to adjust trajectory based on the generated instructions.
