Establishment by means of analysis, of conditions of tangency, intersection, and noncontact between 2 coplanar confocal conic orbits in terms of orbit elements: semimajor axis, linear eccentricity, and orientation angle; conditions are used to determine elements of cotangential transfer ellipses between 2 terminal orbits; analytical and geometrical methods of solution are formulated.
