Necessary condition for an additional impulse given certain restrictions on the distance from the gravitational center
Abstract
A condition is obtained for determining the direction of the additional impulse by imposing certain restrictions of the equality or inequality type on the lengths of the apsidal radii of the Kepler arcs forming the trajectory of an impulse transfer in a Newtonian gravitational field. Formulas for this direction are derived.
