In Goddart's rocket problem we model the ascent (vertical; restricted to 1 dimension) of a rocket. The aim is to reach a certain altitude with minimal fuel consumption. It is equivalent to maximize the mass at the final altitude.

Mathematical formulation
![\begin{array}{llcll}
\displaystyle \min_{m,r,v,u,T} & -m(T)\\[1.5ex]
\mbox{s.t.} & \dot{r} & = & v, \\
& \dot{v} & = & -\frac{1}{r^2} + \frac{1}{m} (T_{max}u-D(r,v)) \\[1.5ex]
