Abstract This paper completes the study of optimal transfers with constraints imposed on the thrust vector direction that was opened by paper [1]. The linear inhomogeneous and homogeneous constraints on the thrust direction are considered (specified either by equalities or inequalities), as well as mixed constraints. Some examples of the constraints are presented. A modified method of the transporting trajectory is applied in order to find the optimal transfer under the linear constraints on the thrust direction. This method also gives the necessary condition for a transfer possibility at a given constraint on the thrust direction. A numerical example is considered, in which the propellant consumption is analyzed for the cases of transfers with and without constraints.
