Abstract: Design methods for the closing and fly around are investigated in this paper. The universal forms are derived, by which the chaser can transfer from a holding point to another one in V bar within any duration of flight. The different methods of transfer from V bar to R bar or H bar are designed, and their characters are compared according to the transfer duration and velocity increment.
