Consideration of the problem of optimal ascent from an initial circular planetary orbit to some specified final energy level by a spacecraft equipped with a low-thrust engine. Optimal is defined as minimum time. An accurate small parameter perturbation solution is presented, and the optimal trajectory is analyzed and compared with a tangential thrust trajectory.
