The coplanar orbit transfer problem has been an important topic in astrodynamics since the beginning of the space era. Though many approximate solutions for power-limited orbit transfer problem have been developed, most of them rely on simplifications of the dynamics of the problem. This paper proposes a new approximation method called primer vector approximation method to solve the classic power-limited orbit transfer problem. This method makes no simplification on the dynamics, but instead approximates the optimal primer-vector function. With this method, this paper derives two approximate solutions for the power-limited orbit transfer problem. Numerical tests show the robustness and accuracy of the approximations.

A low-thrust guidance scheme, which is weighted combined by taking the optimum strategy of thrust allocation and the target deficits value into consideration for each orbital element, is developed. The presented guidance scheme is predictive in nature and does not rely on a stored reference trajectory or reference controls. The orbit transfer problem is converted into parametric optimization and utilizing a hybrid genetic algorithm. The minimum-time orbit transfer is considered. The influence of the Earth’s oblateness is taken into consideration in the simulation of minimum-time. A conclusion is drawn that the designed method presented here turns out to be an autonomous scheme because the information of target orbit is considered in the transfer process.

Low-thrust spacecraft orbit transfer optimization problem is studied in this paper, and shooting method is applied to the transfer trajectory optimization for satellites on high eccentric orbit. First, this paper puts forward the gauss perturbation equation of non-singular equinoctial elements. A first order approximated analytical solution of the orbit elements under low-thrust and J2 perturbation is presented based on perturbation theory. Then, the optimization control model by shooting method is established. Finally, the first order approximated result is compared to the numerical result. A transfer problem is optimized using shooting method. The accuracy and validity of this method is verified.
