Maximum range of rocket vehicle is discussed applying variational theory of optimum multistage processes; vector thrust may be controlled in magnitude and in direction, and two-stage vehicle considered is assumed flying in vacuum; it is shown that maximum range trajectory of two-stage rocket vehicle flying in vacuum is composed of three subarcs; staging conditions presented permit determination of fundamental function that makes it possible to detect type, sequence, and number of subarcs forming external arc; conclusions also apply to n-stage vehicles.
