An investigation of a two-impulse plan for performing rendezvous on a once-a-day basis with a near-earth satellite station indicates that launch into rendezvous from slightly less than maximum satellite latitude is an unusually favorable circumstance in that no appreciable expense in mass ratio is incurred. In addition, it was found for the two-impulse maneuver employed in this study that the optimum angular travel of the ferry vehicle to rendezvous was considerably less than the 1800 transfer which is optimum for the two-impulse in-plane launch
