Abstract
This article deals with the time minimal transfer of a satellite between Keplerian orbits with control along the tangential direction. The study is motivated by cone constraints on the thrust. The time optimal control law has switchings and homtopies are applied to smooth the discontinuities. The optimal solutions are computed using a shooting method, taking into account second-order optimality conditions.
