Numerical solutions to the optimal three-dimensional glide/thrust atmosphere skip maneuver are obtained using the multiple shooting iteration scheme. A singular thrust arc, induced by the heating constraints, is encountered. The synergetic plane change maneuver is shown to be superior to an extra-atmospheric one for 556-km (300-nm) circular orbit plane changes of more than 5 degrees. (Author)
