Analytical Estimation of the Velocity Increment in J2-Perturbed Impulsive Transfers

What is it about?

In multi-rendezvous missions such as active debris removal, a fast and accurate evaluation for target-to-target transfers is needed to help search the rendezvous sequence. This work proposes an analytical method to estimate the velocity increment, which is an important criterion to evaluate the transfers. The method proves to be more accurate than previous analytical methods.
