This paper considers optimal rendezvous maneuvers to bring a spacecraft into close proximity of a target in circular orbit (typically a space station). The motion of the spacecraft relative to the target is described by linearized differential equations. Three optimal control problems are formulated using these equations. Optimal maneuvers minimizing energy, fuel, and time required for transfer are investigated and numerical solutions are shown employing SGRA (the sequential gradientrestoration algorithm).
