High thrust systems such as chemical rockets and low thrust systems such as ion rockets are considered for rendezvous missions by determining minimum fuel maneuvers for small, simultaneous changes in elements of quasi circular orbits; orbit transfer missions are treated by determining minimum fuel maneuvers for large changes in elements of circular orbits and orbit maintenance missions by determining propulsion necessary to cancel perturbations due to atmosphere, Earth's bulge, and sun and moon.
