Minimum-Energy Transfer Optimization between Near-Circular Orbits Using an Approximate Closed-Form Solution

This paper explores the use of the averaging method in the optimal control problem related to the multirevolution orbital transfer of a spacecraft with low-thrust capabilities. The regularized equations of motion are expressed using modified equinoctial elements with the eccentric longitude as a fas...
