Analysis is presented for optimization of space vehicle thrust program with prespecified directions of thrust and numerical comparison in vehicle performance between constant-attitude thrust program and optimum variable direction program by means of series of Earth-Mars rendezvous and flyby trajectories, using power-limited propulsion system; it is shown that constant-attitude thrust program with two or more optimized thrust directions is competitive in vehicle performance with variable direction program for interplanetary mission.
