This paper investigates the fuel-optimal scheme of a finite-thrust lunar ascent mission. First, we apply an indirect method with the homotopy method to solve the bang-bang control associated with the finite-thrust fuel-optimal problem. Then, a simplified dynamic equation is used to obtain the analytical criterion of the on and off thrust conditions in the form of co-states. For the first burn arc,...
