Analytical methods for satellite constellation reconfiguration and reconnaissance using low-thrust manoeuvres

A fully-analytical general perturbation solution to a restricted low-thrust circular to circular Lambert rendezvous problem with tangential thrust and an optional coast arc is developed. The solution requires no iteration and is solved rapidly to generate a full range of possible manoeuvres to achie...
