ssapy_toolkit.Orbital_Mechanics.burn_to_deltav

ssapy_toolkit.Orbital_Mechanics.burn_to_deltav(orbit, times, burn_ntw)[source]

Compare continuous finite-duration NTW acceleration vs an instantaneous impulse applied at the mid-time of times.

Parameters:

orbit (ssapy.Orbit)
times (1D array of seconds (monotonic))
burn_ntw ((3,) constant NTW acceleration [m/s^2],) – interpreted as [Normal(out-of-plane), Tangential, Radial].

Returns:

dict

Return type:

keys r_continuous, r_instantaneous, delta_v_ntw, delta_v_gcrf, t_center
