The aim of the thesis is to build a theory of optimal maneuvering in near-circular orbits, which defines the possible types of optimal solutions and their areas of existence for the main problems encountered in practical work. Development of numerical and analytical methods for determining the parameters of maneuvers for each of the possible types of optimal solutions. The extension of these methods to solving the problem of meeting a long duration when there is a significant difference in the longitude of the ascending node at the initial and final orbits. Creation of new high-speed methods for calculating maneuvers for maintaining a given configuration of satellite systems.
