Current technology for solar-electric propulsion is used to assess the potential performance advantages of low-thrust propulsion for an out-of-the-ecliptic mission. Simple normal-to-the-orbit thrust steering is assumed with coast subarcs permitted. The electric spacecraft is launched onto an Earth escape trajectory by an Atlas (SLV3C)-Centaur or a Titan IIIC. Comparisons with a similarly launched uprated Burner II stage reveal that significant performance gains are possible using the electric stage with 250- to 475-day flight times.
