Report presents optimum solutions of 2-impulse orbital transfer problem based on minimum total velocity increment criterion; by use of hodograph parameters, total velocity increment for transfer is expressed as function of one independent variable (i.e., one of transfer orbit hodograph parameters) and trajectory end-point conditions; analytic solutions and attendant transfer characteristics are presented graphically for transfer between any specified trajectory and points lying on circular orbits.
