Both the inner and transfer orbits are of arbitrary shapes (circular, elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic). 2. The two impulses are applied tangentially at two general points not necessarily to be applied at the apsides. The solution of the problem is thus; the determination of, the semi- major axis and the eccentricity of the transfer orbit, and the total impulse for the complete two impulse transfer at and which gives minimum velocity increment. Some numerical applications are also included.  ISSN : 1319-1012  Journal Name : Journal of King Abdulaziz University - science  Volume : 21  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 2009 AH 2009 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, February 1, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد عادل شرف Sharaf, M A Researcher Doctorate MSHARAF@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  24992.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
