That's just bi-elliptic transfer and it's not necessarily the most efficient.

- msandford 4y agoOh I see! I'd love to know more about that. Is it a gravity assist instead, or something else entirely?
- effie 4y agoThe most efficient, in terms of minimum propellant, would be to use Sun's radiation and solar wind to slow it down and thus let the Sun pull down the craft. E.g. big mirror at 45 degrees to solar radiation flux. This could take a lot of time, similar to your way.
