Default reccomendations on an efficient orbit to fly a space craft from the L1 lagrange point from earth to mars sun-synchronous orbit?

Hello every one!!!

can anyone suggest an efficient orbit to fly a space craft from the L1
lagrange point from earth to mars sun-synchronous orbit?

Thank you!!


Depends on what kind of propulsion you've got. A "bang-bang" sort of
maneuver is more appropriate for an engine with high thrust and short
duration, but clearly won't work for something like a solar sail or ion
thruster.
