2-body-trajectories to Mars and Venus, resulting from low-thrust accelerations of ion and plasma systems are studied; integration in closed form is possible, even with variable radial acceleration of vehicle, if proportionality to distance from sun and initial point of transfer orbits are assumed at circular orbit around Earth, from which vehicle starts at about 30 km/sec.
