Kluever’s analytical method for obtaining an optimal interplanetary trajectory using a solar-electric propulsion (SEP) system has been analysed, and various trajectory parameters, namely ∆V, transfer angle, coast angle and flight duration, have been computed for given initial and target orbit radii, initial power and spacecraft mass, specific impulse and efficiency of the thruster. Detailed analysis showed that there are grey regions where the analytical method has failed to provide the expected result.
