Case contract

Input [M, e] with e>1 (else None). Solve e sinh H - H = M by Newton from H=asinh(M/e) (60 iterations max, stop when step<1e-13). Return [H, nu, nu_inf] rounded to 9 with nu=2 atan(sqrt((e+1)/(e-1)) tanh(H/2)) and asymptote nu_inf=acos(-1/e).

Why this case matters

Orbit determination and mission planning chain many small conversions; one wrong branch or unit silently moves a spacecraft by kilometres.

One recorded failure
