title: Modified Algorithm for Calculating the Parameters of Maneuvers of Coplanar Meeting of Spacecraft in a Near-Circular Orbit Using Low-Thrust Engines
abstract: A modified algorithm is presented for solving the problem of spacecraft rendezvous in a near-circular orbit. The study considers the calculation of maneuver parameters executed on several turns using a low-thrust propulsion system. It is assumed that the active spacecraft performs maneuvers within a predefined region around the target spacecraft, while the perturbative effects of Earth’s gravitational field non-centrality and atmospheric drag are neglected. Well-established approximate mathemati
