In this chapter we develop a general theory of optimal spacecraft trajectories based on two pioneering works: Breakwell [1959] and Lawden [1963]. Lawden introduced the concept of the primer vector, which plays a dominant role in minimum-propellant trajectories and also in other types of optimal trajectories. A more complete discussion of the topics in this chapter, including several example trajectories, is in Prussing [2010].
