Hohmann ΔV

Efficiency Over Speed. The Hohmann transfer is the Low-Energy Path. It uses the planet's gravity to do the heavy lifting, requiring only two short "kicks" of thrust to change worlds.

  • 🏁 Departure: Burn 1 creates the ellipse.
  • 📍 Arrival: Burn 2 circularizes the orbit.
  • ⛽ Fuel: The most "bang for your buck" maneuver.

Logic: Δv

The Math of Survival. We calculate the Hohmann Transfer to find the Critical Minimum. In space, "More Power" usually means "More Weight," so we optimize for the curve.

  • ⚖️ Mass Ratio: Keeping the rocket light enough to launch.
  • 🕰️ Syncing: Matching the arrival with the planet's position.
  • 🛑 Capture: Arriving slow enough to stay.

Hohmann Phasing

The Energy Bridge. It’s a game of Momentum Trading. We use a high-speed kick to buy altitude, then a second kick to pay for the "rent" of staying in the new neighborhood.

  • 🏁 Perigee Kick: Increasing the semi-major axis of your orbit.
  • 🛰️ Apogee Capture: Matching speeds with the target's height.
  • 📉 Gravity Loss: Minimizing the time spent fighting the planet's pull.

Mars-Hohmann

Interplanetary Timing. The Earth-Mars Hohmann transfer is a Nine-Month Coast. It turns the solar system into a giant clock where fuel efficiency dictates our arrival.

  • 📅 26 Months: The wait time between launch windows.
  • 🏎️ Delta-V: ~3.9 km/s needed to leave Earth's orbit.
  • 🛑 Insertion: Slowing down to enter the Martian "Well."
