Resumo: An algorithm based on gradient techniques, proposed in a companion paper, is applied to numerical analysis of optimal low-thrust limited-power trajectories for simple transfer (no rendezvous) between coplanar circular orbits in a central Newtonian gravity field. The proposed algorithm combines the main positive characteristics of two well-known methods in optimization of trajectories: the steepest-descent method and the direct second variation method. The analysis is carried out for various radius ratios and transfer durations. The results are compared to the ones provided by a linear analytical theory. The performance of the proposed algorithm shows that it is a good tool in determining optimal low-thrust limited-power trajectories between close circular coplanar orbits in a Newtonian central gravity field.
