Abstract
The optimum-optimorum configuration of the space vehicle is the configuration for which the shapes of its surface and also of its planprojection are simultaneously determined in such a manner that its drag attains its minimum at a given cruising Mach number M∞. The problem of the determination of the optimum-optimorum configuration of a space vehicle of variable geometry which presents a minimum drag at two cruising Mach numbers M∞ and M* ∞ are here also considered.
