orbital-mechanics

To design a Hohmann transfer to GEO, this skill calculates precise delta-v budgets and time of flight using Keplerian mechanics and planetary mu constants. It enforces unit discipline across LEO and GEO scales to output accurate transfer requirements for spacecraft missions.

Keplerian elements parameterize a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) by defining two-body baseline parameters such as altitude and inclination. This skill calculates these precise orbital parameters, applying J2 constants to maintain the sun-synchronous nature of the trajectory.

Yes, you can plan a Walker constellation and analyze ground tracks for revisit optimization. This skill calculates precise orbital parameters for constellation planning across LEO and GEO contexts to optimize spacecraft coverage patterns.

Yes, trajectory design supports interplanetary transfers and bi-elliptic maneuvers. This skill calculates transfer budgets and delta-v requirements across interplanetary scales using Keplerian mechanics, providing clear outputs of time of flight and orbital elements.

For orbital mechanics calculations, you need access to planetary mu, planetary radii, and J2 constants. This skill requires these inputs to calculate precise orbital parameters, enforce error checks, and output accurate delta-v budgets for spacecraft missions.
