Optimum low-thrust transfers between neighboring coplanar circular orbits were studied for simplified system model; within limits of assumptions made, numerical results are sufficient to describe optimum thrust steering program and performance capability of vehicle in terms of its thrust/weight ratio, orbital frequency, and thrust duration.
