Abstract

We introduce a more advanced analysis than that of Roth concerning the following two points of view: (1) We attempt to find an analytical solution of the optimization problem instead of Roth's iterative solution. That means a stress is operated on the analytical approach. (2) We consider the terminal orbits to be elliptic and not circular as Roth assumed. This is a generalization of the problem. We shall complete the solution of this Bi-Elliptic transfer with plane change problem in the second part of the present research paper (I).
