Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximate analytical solutions were derived for the problem of low thrust propulsion, in the case of constant thrust, set at a constant angle to the velocity vector, for any type of initial orbit (elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic). Simple expressions were obtained, giving energy, angular momentum and excentricity in terms of the excentric anomaly. The solutions allow for calculation of the fuel consumption. Their validity is restricted to the field of orbit correction. (Author).
