Determination of brachistochrones for continuous rockets moving in inverse square central force fields for both high and low thrust to field force ratios for two cases: departure from orbit with constant thrust greater than ten times field force, and departure from earth's surface with thrust to weight ratio over ten; propulsion systems considered include chemical and nuclear rockets and use of free radicals such as monatomic hydrogen.
