The Lambert problem deals with connecting two given points in a given lapse of time under the influence of gravitational force and friction forces. If the two points lie on the same ray, there exists exactly one rectilinear solution, while there are at least two solutions traveling in opposite directions otherwise.
The Lambert problem consists in connecting two given points in a given lapse of time under the gravitational influence of a fixed center. While this problem is very classical, we are concerned here with situations where friction forces act alongside the Newtonian attraction. Under some boundedness assumptions on the friction, there exists exactly one rectilinear solution if the two points lie on the same ray, and at least two solutions traveling in opposite directions otherwise.
