the theory that an optimal rocket trajectory thrusts along the adjoint velocity vector, whose magnitude history shows when impulses or coasts are optimal.

In astrodynamics, primer vector theory refers to the theory that an optimal rocket trajectory thrusts along the adjoint velocity vector, whose magnitude history shows when impulses or coasts are optimal. This meaning comes from Lawden (1963) in Optimal trajectories for space navigation.[1]
