Reference is made to previous work by first author considering problem of scheduling direction of constant momentum thrust of rocket, which loses mass at constant rate, so that it transfers to known earth satellite orbit in minimum time after launching; method is extended to solve problem of orbital transfer of such rocket with minimum fuel consumption.
