The analytic treatment of the problem of impulsive terminal rendezvous in near-circular orbit is presented in this chapter. The velocity change imparted to the active maneuvering vehicle is determined with high accuracy, such that, the error in interceptmg the passive spacecraft in a given time is negligible. This error is evaluated by numerically integrating both spacecraft orbits, by accounting for the second zonal harmonic J2. A typical large transfer where the two vehicles are initially separated by 2000 km, is achieved with an interception error of 5 km.
