Abstract
This paper devotes to the problem of ellipse-to-ellipse coplanar rendezvous, where the solution and distribution of Hohmann-type optimal impulsive rendezvous are investigated. The analytical relation between the initial states and rendezvous time are derived for Hohmann-type, and the optimal impulse amplitudes are given thereupon. The distribution boundary of Hohmann-type model is obtained according to the Hohmann transfer and Hohmann with coasts. Simulations are demonstrated to analyze the influences of the solution and distribution.
