A closed-loop guidance strategy for time and fuel optimal reboost of Space Station Freedom is discussed in this paper. The reboost maneuver is formulated as an optimal control problem rather than a parameter optimization problem, the parameters being the thrust switching times. In the present approach the thrust switching structure need not be prescribed a priori to solve the resulting two point boundary value problem. Non-optimality of singular control or intermediate thrust is proved by utilizing the second order Kelley condition or the Generalized Legendre-Clebsch condition. Only a few sets of initial co-states and time-to-go guess values need to be stored on-board for a wide range of reboost scenarios.
