The nonlinear programming method is used to study the finite-thrust minimum-time orbital interception problem. Considering the spacecraft with fixed impulse, the Modified Equinoctial Elements are used to describe the movement of the spacecraft in the attached coordinate, and the model of the orbital interception problem is established. Then the trajectory optimization problem is solved by the nonlinear programming method. The simulations demonstrate that the minimum time orbital interception mission is well accomplished, and the spacecraft fly around the earth with maximum thrust magnitude at whole time history.
