Optimal Multi-Arc Trajectories (OMAT) computer program designed to calculate solution to optimal-trajectory problem in cases of low thrust-to-weight ratios. Developed for two-body exoatmospheric problem with three degrees of freedom in inverse-square force field. Offers two different options: impulsive changes in velocity and finite burns with low thrust-to-weight ratios. Two distinct solutions available from program: optimal multi-impulse (OMI) solution and optimal multiburn (OMB) solution. Two solutions obtained separately, or results of OMI solution used to guess unknown parameters of OMB solution. Written for DEC VAX-series computer. Written completely in FORTRAN 77.
