Method presented for 2-body trajectory problems; basic graph is composed of circles and straight lines; all features of trajectories appear on this map; coasting trajectories correspond to circles on graph; transfer to new orbits on impulsive thrust, planar and non-planar, approximations for continuous thrust and for almost circular orbits are shown; examples given.
