Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PatchedConicXfer()

PatchedConicXfer.PatchedConicXfer	(	OrbitData	fromOrbit,
		OrbitData	toOrbit,
		double	lambda1Deg
	)

Calculate the transfer maneuver from a circular initial orbit to the sphere of influence (SOI) of a smaller mass orbiting the same body as the spaceship (e.g. Earth to Moon transfer).

Assumes the moon orbit is spherical and co-planar with the spaceship initial orbit.

Patched conic is an approximation that assumes the ship moves in only the field of the central body until it gets to the SOI. In reality (and GE evolution) there will be an influence from the Moon and the actual result will differ slightly.

Parameters

fromOrbit
toOrbit
lambda1	Angle of arrival wrt planet-moon line (0..90 degrees)
