Abstract: 
We found the dependencies of the duration to reach the required value of the average radius of a near circular orbit, necessary velocity increase and fuel consumption on thrust-to-weight ratio of a space vehicle, an initial radius and specific thrust of a thruster
Keywords: fuel consumption, orbit, velocity
