Phasing Maneuver
Estimate a one-revolution phasing orbit and two-burn delta-v for circular-orbit rendezvous timing.
Total delta-v
393.44 m/s
two equal tangent burns
Phasing period
100.27 min
8.33% versus circular
Phasing semi-major axis
7,149.65 km
higher, slower loop
One-loop phasing geometry
The chaser leaves the circular orbit, completes one temporary orbit, and returns to the tangent point after the target has shifted phase.
393.44 m/s total
Circular period
92.56 min
reference timing
Phasing period
100.27 min
higher, slower loop
Single burn
196.72 m/s
same magnitude at exit
Apoapsis radius
7,521.17 km
opposite side of loop
