Spacecraft Maneuver Planner

How to Use

1. Enter Initial Orbit Radius: In the input field for "Initial Orbit Radius," enter the radius of the spacecraft's initial orbit (in kilometers or miles depending on the unit selected).

2. Enter Target Orbit Radius: In the "Target Orbit Radius" input, provide the radius of the desired target orbit (in kilometers or miles).

3. Enter Spacecraft Mass: Specify the mass of your spacecraft in the "Spacecraft Mass" field. This should be in kilograms.

4. Select Unit: Choose whether you want to use kilometers or miles by selecting the appropriate option from the dropdown menu next to the "Unit" label.

5. Click "Simulate Maneuver": Once all inputs are entered, click on the "Simulate Maneuver" button to calculate and display the orbital transfer data.

6. View the Results: After clicking "Simulate Maneuver," the output will appear in the "Results" box. You will see detailed values like initial and target velocities, Delta-V values, transfer time, escape velocity, and more.

7. Reset Fields: If you want to start over with new values, click the "Reset Fields" button to clear all inputs and results.

8. Experiment with Different Inputs: Feel free to experiment with different values for orbit radius, spacecraft mass, and other parameters to see how the results change.
