2. In-orbit injection at constant acceleration
The second problem dealt with is that of injection into a flat Earth orbit with no atmosphere. The orbit is defined by an altitude and a horizontal velocity. The aim is to reach orbit in the shortest possible time using a rocket with constant acceleration. This problem is presented in .
2.1 Modeling
The modeling is very similar to that of the previous problem. The trajectory is in the vertical plane (Oxz) shown in figure
