Abstract: | The paper proposes a numerical approach to the problem of optimal control of low-thrust spacecraft in a strong central gravity
field. The approach employs the solution of the averaged equations of optimal motion. For an optimal variable-thrust maneuver,
it is shown that quasioptimal trajectories are close to the averaged ones. It is established that in the case of constant
thrust, the averaged solutions can be used as a satisfactory first approximation for finding a quasioptimal solution by minimizing
the discrepancy at the right end of the trajectory
