A study is made of the families of non-thrusting ascent trajectories during rendezvous with an orbiting space station and the descent trajectories to the earth's atmosphere. Equations of motion are derived and results are shown for two typical orbits of the station (one circular and one elliptic orbit}. Boundaries of launch (at time of booster burnout) and rendezvous conditions are given and the effects of delays in launch time are discussed
