Abstract
We wish to consider the problem of delivering maximum payload with a restricted-power propulsion system (low-thrust powerplant), taking into account correction of the trajectory. It is required to select a powerplant operational program and the proper relation between the weight of the power source and fuel store so as to ensure the maximum payload that can be delivered, on the average, with complete reliance.
