Boundary value problem
In the study of differential equations, a boundary-value problem is a differential equation subjected to constraints called boundary conditions.
See Lambert's problem and Boundary value problem
Celestial mechanics
Celestial mechanics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the motions of objects in outer space.
See Lambert's problem and Celestial mechanics
Conic section
A conic section, conic or a quadratic curve is a curve obtained from a cone's surface intersecting a plane. Lambert's problem and conic section are conic sections.
See Lambert's problem and Conic section
Differential equation
In mathematics, a differential equation is an equation that relates one or more unknown functions and their derivatives.
See Lambert's problem and Differential equation
Ellipse
In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant. Lambert's problem and ellipse are conic sections.
See Lambert's problem and Ellipse
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.
See Lambert's problem and Global Positioning System
Gravity
In physics, gravity is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass.
See Lambert's problem and Gravity
Hyperbola
In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. Lambert's problem and hyperbola are conic sections.
See Lambert's problem and Hyperbola
Johann Heinrich Lambert
Johann Heinrich Lambert (Jean-Henri Lambert in French; 26 or 28 August 1728 – 25 September 1777) was a polymath from the Republic of Mulhouse, generally identified as either Swiss or French, who made important contributions to the subjects of mathematics, physics (particularly optics), philosophy, astronomy and map projections.

Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph-Louis Lagrange (born Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia, Encyclopædia Britannica or Giuseppe Ludovico De la Grange Tournier; 25 January 1736 – 10 April 1813), also reported as Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange or Lagrangia, was an Italian mathematician, physicist and astronomer, later naturalized French.

Kepler orbit
In celestial mechanics, a Kepler orbit (or Keplerian orbit, named after the German astronomer Johannes Kepler) is the motion of one body relative to another, as an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola, which forms a two-dimensional orbital plane in three-dimensional space. Lambert's problem and Kepler orbit are orbits.
See Lambert's problem and Kepler orbit
Orbit determination
Orbit determination is the estimation of orbits of objects such as moons, planets, and spacecraft. Lambert's problem and orbit determination are astrodynamics and orbits.
See Lambert's problem and Orbit determination
Orbital pole
An orbital pole is either point at the ends of the orbital normal, an imaginary line segment that runs through a focus of an orbit (of a revolving body like a planet, moon or satellite) and is perpendicular (or normal) to the orbital plane. Lambert's problem and orbital pole are orbits.
See Lambert's problem and Orbital pole
Patched conic approximation
In astrodynamics, the patched conic approximation or patched two-body approximation is a method to simplify trajectory calculations for spacecraft in a multiple-body environment. Lambert's problem and patched conic approximation are astrodynamics.
See Lambert's problem and Patched conic approximation
Two-body problem
In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is to predict the motion of two massive objects which are abstractly viewed as point particles. Lambert's problem and two-body problem are orbits.
See Lambert's problem and Two-body problem
