Transportation in space is possible by means of chemical engines (liquid rocket engines, solid-propellant rocket engine) and electro rocket impellent installations (ERII). However use ERII predetermines presence of a source of electric energy onboard that in turn conducts to decrease in a share of useful loading. Thus, use ERII as impellent installation of the space vehicle does a transportation problem by the optimizing, which purpose achievement of the maximum weight of useful loading is at the set parameters of a ballistic problem and specific impulse ERII.
