Subject : Astronomy 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : In this paper, optimal two impulses cotangential orbital transfer maneuvers is developed for which: 1. Both the inner and transfer orbits are of arbitrary shapes (circular, elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic). 2. The two impulses are applied tangentially at two general points not necessarily to be applied at the apsides. The solution of the problem is thus; the determination of, the semi- major axis and the eccentricity of the transfer orbit, and the total impulse for the complete two impulse transfer at and which gives minimum velocity increment. Some numerical applications are also included.
