ssapy_toolkit.Orbital_Mechanics.deltav_to_burn

ssapy_toolkit.Orbital_Mechanics.deltav_to_burn(orbit, times, delta_v_ntw)[source]

Use a constant NTW acceleration across times such that a*duration = delta_v_ntw, and compare continuous vs impulsive results.

Parameters:

orbit (ssapy.Orbit)
times (1D array of seconds (monotonic))
delta_v_ntw ((3,) NTW delta-v [m/s],) – 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, a_ntw
