             abstract = "Over the decades, with the advance in computational power and the 
                         development of new optimization techniques, a new opportunity 
                         arose for a reviewed approach and analysis of already existing 
                         solutions to orbital transfer problems. With that in mind, a study 
                         was proposed over Lambert's problem of bi-impulsive orbital 
                         transfers with time constraint for the execution of minimum fuel 
                         maneuvers between coplanar and non coplanar elliptical orbits. In 
                         order to achieve this goal, a genetic search algorithm was 
                         developed to determine the minimum fuel trajectory with an 
                         iterative variation of two Keplerian elements of the final orbit, 
                         one of them being the mean anomaly and the other a choice between 
                         the eccentricity, the inclination or the argument of periapsis. A 
                         number of six simulations were performed under these conditions, 
                         using different values - on each simulation - for the Keplerian 
                         elements of the final orbits not being iteratively varied. 
                         Remarkable sections were noted regarding the behaviour of fuel 
                         consumption values of the minimum fuel trajectories. One of which 
                         was a noted relation between the lowest cost minimum fuel 
                         transfers and the ratio of the semi-major axis and eccentricity of 
                         these transfers' initial and final orbits, considering both the 
                         orbits have the same value of argument of periapsis. Amongst all 
                         simulations, it was important to identify the choice between short 
                         or long way for the determination of the minimum fuel transfer, 
                         analysing the implications of that choice on the transfer time.",
