Three proposed methods of determining when and how to perform one or more impulsive velocity corrections to spacecraft orbit, when there is uncertainty in knowledge of orbit and random errors arise in execution of correction are presented; example is constructed which permits application of all 3 methods to single problem and numerical results are evaluated.
