Low-thrust quasi-circular orbital rendezvous example illustrates possible practical application of optimal guidance scheme; closed-form result obtained for guidance corrections should be safely applicable for correctional maneuvers during last several revolutions of low-thrust ascending (or descending) approach to rendezvous.
