Calculate delta V for Hohmann transfer orbits between two circular orbits
📖 Hohmann Transfer
A Hohmann transfer is an elliptical orbit used to transfer a spacecraft between two circular orbits. It's the most fuel-efficient method for orbital transfers, requiring two engine burns.
📊 Result
💡 Tips & Information
- Delta V is measured in meters per second (m/s)
- Hohmann transfer requires two burns: one to enter transfer orbit, one to circularize
- Total Δv = Δv₁ + Δv₂ (sum of both burns)
- Transfer time = π × √((a³) / (GM)), where a is semi-major axis
- Most efficient for transfers where final radius is less than 12x initial radius
